Mangalore, October 30: It takes a lot to be top dog here. You've got to have good genetics, good looks and a good attitude. Not all of them were pure bred, and others were a bit feisty during judging, but they were all special in the hearts of their owners at 'Dog Show' organised by Karavali Kennel Club at Kadri Park on Sunday, October 30.

More than 250 dog owners, including some from Hyderabad and Chennai, have brought their canines.

Categories ranged from small male/ female puppies to adult puppies and all the contenders had something special about them their owners wanted to share.

Dogs were judged for breed standard, body shape, coat, colour, temperament, movement and bite.

According to Club President T Subbaya Shetty breads like Doberman, Golden Retriever, Labrador, German shepherd, Rottweiler, Pug, Boxer, Saint Bernard, Mudhol Hound, Beagle, J R Terrier, Napoleon Mastiff, Shields, Pamorian dogs and other breeds took to the centre stage.

Mr. Shetty said that his club had applied for Kennel Club of India affiliation and it could take two years to get it. There could be over 1,000 canines in Mangalore with pedigree certificates. The next dog show was likely to be held in Udupi, he added.

The best dog in the show got the prize money of Rs. 30,000, second best Rs. 20,000 and the third Rs. 10,000. The best male and female puppies received Rs. 5,000 each. In addition, the best adults and puppies in each of the 25 breeds received certificates.
