“Each breed competes in the group so you get those seven group winners…so at the end of the day seven dogs will compete and one will be given the best in show title for today," Jenifer Delmer with the Bexar County Kennel Club said.
Children from the age of nine are able to enter their dogs into the show and walk them to be judged.
Everyone looking to attend can bring family and friends. The event is free for everyone except for a parking fee of $15.
