Dozer at the Outdoor Retailer Show 2015

 

Last week this young handsome pup graduated one of his training courses and is now officially certified as a canine good citizen! Well, we couldn't have planned a better debut for him to show off his newly learned skills than at the Winter Outdoor Retailer Show that was going on the same week.

 

It truly was perfect for Dozer, and hilarious for us... the minute we arrived there we were bombarded by the crazy outdoors folk. They simply could not stay away from the cuteness.

 

After we signed him in, we were ushered straight down to the Kurgo booth where they hooked Dozer up with some of their product that comes out this Spring; a rad hiking vest and an awesome multi-functional leash. They were so nice! And I loved their booth because it had fake grass and an airstream...

 

We then spent two hilarious hours catching small glimpses of the booths and product as we made our slow way from one group of people wanting to love on Dozer, to the next group of people wanting to love on him. I can't get over how crazy it was! I was just in awe... people wanting to pet him, take a picture of him, take a picture with him, take a picture of their product with him, and ask a ton of questions about him.

"Sure, you can pet him!"
"Yup, he's 9 months old"
"He weighs 135 pounds"
"He'll probably weigh around 200 pounds when he stops growing"
"Yes, it is a big dog"
"Yeah, you can take his picture."

And because I was being overly excited and silly...

"Use the hashtag #SaintDozer, if you end up posting that!"

I was dying. I thought Mike might burst with pride. We didn't see as much of the show as we have in years past, but we had a good time. And when a couple pictures of Dozer started popping up on Instagram... oh, it made our day!

Here's some photos I grabbed amid talking to people and laughing at how popular Dozer was:
