Story and photos by Samantha Pearsall

This past weekend Cape Cod Kennel Club (CCKC) and South Shore Kennel Club (SSKC) collaborated for a 4-day dog show event known as the annual Cranberry Cluster. A total of 1,251 dogs from 128 different breeds, from Newfoundlands to Shih Tzsus, strutted their stuff in the show rings at the Barnstable County Fairgrounds. The show was held Thursday through Sunday from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m.

One of the shows’ chairs, Linda Flynn, who is also the Delegate to the American Kennel Club for SSKC, said “Weekends are always busier than the Thursday and Friday shows, however, it is all weather-dependant.” Saturday was a wash out with few spectators, but Sunday’s warm sunshine brought in crowds who were watching the events and shopping for their own pups.
