Presenting themselves :  The breeds had to run inside the circle that was arranged during the various rounds. The Indian and foreign breeds competed equally in the contest. However, the dogs were also seen fighting each other in the circle arranged for the competition and the handlers had to struggle to take them away. Some of them lost points in the run for the beauty crown owing to their ferocious attitude.

The beauties had a ‘catwalk’ in the beginning and displayed their intellectual abilities. The first-timers were naturally confused and their peculiar behaviour was associated with the unfamiliar ambience. The audience encouraged the dogs to show their grace and elegance. One of the fascinating parts of the day was even the smallest of the small breeds enjoyed attention with the creative smartness. Each breed and each individual dog was unique in its display. As it was a holiday weekend, the spectators were seen in large numbers.
