Pushpa Gautam, owner of a two-year-old pug named Wrinkle as well as one of the participants of the show said, “This is my first time at a dog show and I was very excited to spend time with other breeds. I think these kinds of shows are important for us as they provide an opportunity to know about different breeds and the methods to handle them.”
Similarly, Surina Rana Magar, another participant of the show said, “I love spending my time with dogs, so this is a perfect place for me. But my dog is a bit aggressive and it’s really hard to handle such dogs for a whole day.” The show also had stalls of different pet shops and training centers that were selling pet accessories, pet foods as well as pets.
