It was blue skies for hundreds of dogs and handlers at the Hurricane Ridge Kennel Club’s annual All Breed Conformation/Obedience/Rally trials July 29-31 at Sequim High School’s sports stadium.

July 29 saw obedience and rally events, with conformation added on July 30-31.

Events included “dog dancing” by the Emerald City K-9 Freestyle Dancers and a demonstration of nose work presented by club member Merriam Rose.

Here, Gustavo Molinari of California works with Padre, a Russell terrier that took top honors Sunday in the terrier group, as judge Paula Hartinger of Cincinnati looks on.

“He never has a bad day,” Molinari said of Padre.

“He loves to show. He loves life.”

Padre’s owners are Jill Ferrera and Alan Hargrave.

The weekend’s events saw about 1,250 entries over three days, club members said.

The Hurricane Ridge Kennel Club hosts meetings the third Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. at the Sequim Prairie Grange, 290 MacLeay Road.
