International Kennel Club of Chicago Dog Show photos

McCormick Place has gone to the dogs. The International Kennel Club of Chicago Cluster of Dog Shows is in full effect this weekend, and the results are pawsitively "Awww"-inducing. Some 10,000 top dogs from around the country, representing around 160 breeds, compete for prizes and the prestigious title Best in Show—with all the Christopher Guest–y owners, trainers and dog fanatics this sort of event demands. Yesterday, photographer Maddie Blecha got an inside look at the IKC's pre-show prep. No bones about it—these pooches are pretty darn cute.
