The Kennel Club of Palm Springs held one of the largest dog shows in the United States here in our beautiful Coachella Valley this weekend at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, CA. Thousands of spectators were in attendance at the Empire Polo Club grounds. The reported lower attendance of breeders and handlers that was talked about was not apparent to those of us who were there.  There were the most excellent examples of each breed represented at this huge show with a huge crowd of people from all over the United States.
