I'm not big on beauty pageants--for humans, that is. When the contestants are canines, on the other hand, it eliminates a lot of the potential downside. Dogs don't prance around in swimsuits and high heels, they don't twirl flaming batons or play excruciating flute solos, and they don't give incomprehensible answers to questions about Americans' knowledge of geography, or lack thereof. That's why I was thrilled to hear about the sixth annual Long Beach, CA Bulldog Beauty Contest that will take place this Sunday, February 28 starting at 10 a.m. at Marketplace Long Beach. There are competitions for French and English bulldogs and senior dogs, and a separate pageant for pugs, too. Here’s a YouTube video with some of the highlights from last year’s spectacular, which attracted 350 contestants from four states and Canada. I'm hoping that they'll eventually add a basset hound-pit bull competition as well.
