The Rose City Classic, held at the Portland Exposition Center on January 18, features an overwhelming variety of dog breeds showcasing their skills through agility courses, grooming, and traditional evaluation. Owners, in either athletic or formal attire, guide their pets through meticulously organized events aimed at highlighting each dog's traits. Despite the seriousness of competition postures, the atmosphere is lively, with dogs freely interacting and enjoying themselves within a community of canine enthusiasts. The event exemplifies the rich traditions of dog breeding and the rituals that have been integral to the practice over centuries.
Some dogs are subject to grooming by a human being. Some are chilling in a crate. Some dogs are running through a series of intricate obstacle courses, led on by people jogging alongside in athleisure wear.
