WILDWOOD — Wildwood has gone to the dogs, the four legged and furry variety.

Dogs of all shapes and sizes made their way, with their owner’s and handlers in tow, to the annual Boardwalk Kennel Club Feb. 2-3.

The weekend's event marked the 52nd year the Boardwalk Kennel Club, has hosted the show and its fifth year in Wildwood.
Boardwalk Kennel Club Vice President Jennifer Modica told the Herald that approximately 1300 dogs participated in this year’s event. Each show costs about $40,000 to stage, which is covered by entrance fees.

Inside the convention center, rows of grooming tables and kennels were used to keep the dogs looking their best before their appearances in one of the four show rings.

Outside, some dogs got the opportunity to play on the island’s beaches, while other more pampered pooches relaxed in RVs in the parking lot.
