Surfing Dog Contests in California Steal the Show
Just as the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest is about to em-bark on its annual adventure June 22, 2012 at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, the summer is heating up with exciting bowser contests and events, including the dog surfing contests. The ugly dogs aren’t getting their just desserts as surfer dogs steal the spotlight, defiantly not rolling over to lose their 5 minutes of fame. If you ever watch a surfing dog contests, most dogs can barely ride a surfboard and some even shiver as their masters make them do it, but occasionally there’s a rising star of the canine surf world, and to see that moment–it’s priceless!
Several days ago Purina Surf Dog Contest 2012 awarded three of 16 competing dogs top spots in the Purina Pro Plan Incredible Dog Challenge. Winners included Jedi, an Australian Kelpie, owned by Katie Seja of Oxnard; Kalani, a golden retriever owned by Andra Lew of San Diego; and Zoey, an eight year-old Jack Russel terrier owned by Scott Chandler of Carlsbad.
