Moe was the Best in Show winner at Ring 1 at the NYS Fairgrounds on Friday.
We have to thank Jen from Niagara Falls, who talked to us about the rules and regulations for dog show competitions. Also Jan Paulk gave us some insight into what the judges look for during the contests. Moe (pictured above) was born in Russia and will celebrate his fourth birthday on December 12, 2013 (not pictured, his son Pickles).
Moe is examined by AKC Judge Jan Paulk.

Millwood on the attack (from 2003) during a Salty Dogs game at Liverpool Stadium.
The Syracuse Silver Knights announced today that former Syracuse Salty Dog and Baltimore Blast player and champion Machel Millwood will be joining their squad, and re-uniting with former teammate and now coach Tommy Tanner. Millwood was a crowd favorite when he kicked off his pro career with the Salty Dogs a decade ago. He is best remembered for his hustle and heavy footed, thunderous shots on goal.
Hopefully, the younger players on the squad will glean from Millwood’s championship experience.
