Photo Gallery: IKC Dog Show 2009

While most were checking out the last day of the Chicago Auto Show, we decided to head over to the west end of McCormick Place to visit the Swans at the International Kennel Club dog show. Almost 1,000 handlers showed up with over 6,000 canines to compete for "Best in Show" and to put us in complete puppy dog overload. Dogs also competed on two different agility courses, and there were numerous booths set up to purchase plenty of indulgence items for your pampered pooch, recession be damned.
