The Canine Specialist show rig consists of the truck for dog
transport to and from the shows and the trailer which is used by the humans.
The truck is powered by a large Caterpillar diesel generator that runs both heat and air conditioning for the comfort and safety
of the dogs being transported. The generator also provides power for lights, grooming equipment and other essential equipment needed at the show site. The
truck is inspected by AKC (American Kennel Club) for tags, registration,
insurance and sanitary and space conditions for the dogs.
The trailer allows some comforts of home for the show
handlers and is often a popular place for our dog owners to sit and chat with
us as time permits during the busy show day. The trailer allows us to be with our
dogs on the show site day and night so that we can constantly supervise them and
interact with them. To the dogs and humans, the rig is their home away from home.
