OBEDIENCE was the key word of the day during the Malaysian Kennel Association (MKA) all-breed championship show in Ipoh.
Dogs of different shapes and sizes sat patiently or strut elegantly towards their owners with a whisk of an arm or by spoken commands at the event held yesterday at the SJKC Yuk Choy hall.
The dogs, ranging from the small Chihuahuas to the huge German Shepherd, also sat quietly while being groomed by their owners.

“A dog which is nervous and shies away from the judges or one that tries to bite the judge will be penalised,” he added.
Lau said the different breeds of dogs were judged accordingly to how their heads, bodies, forelegs, hind legs and tail placement should look like.
“The judges will also look at their movements,” he added.
A total of 250 dogs took part in seven categories at the championship, evaluated by international dog judges Wayne Burton from Australia and Dr Agus Wardhana from Indonesia.
Challenge certificates were presented to the owners of winning pets.
Lau said the certificates were recognised worldwide.
