Part of the 2022 Prairie River Cluster Dog Show

Quincy Kennel Club

Dogs and handlers from around the country descended on the capital of Illinois to the State Fairgrounds for the Prairie River Cluster. A tremendous variety of breeds was represented by the exhibitors, from tiny Japanese Chins to huge St. Bernards, and from exquisitely groomed Standard Poodles to a hairless Xoloitzcuintli. Two shows were held in one day. Best of show included an English Springer Spaniel from the first show and a Doberman Pinscher from the second show, both stunning and pulled from a beautiful lineup. A big thanks to all of the exhibitors that joined us this weekend.
