June the Harrier tries to find the treat under the bowl... hopefully her hound nose will give her an advantage!


Lamar the Australian Cattle Dog mix


Lightning the Border Collie mix


Nailey the Shepherd mix


Lexa the Yellow Lab mix and Strider the Beagle mix have a great time playing with each other!


Strider the Beagle mix takes on a Leonberger... if he stands really tall, they may just be able to see eye-to-eye!


Tika the Rhodesian Ridgeback mix


Treat the Flat-Coated Retriever/Border Collie mix


Truffles the Chocolate Lab

Here are some of the non-FOHA furry friends who attended Barktoberfest:


A cute-as-a-button French Bulldog puppy spent most of the time being carried like a little princess!


A couple of Norwegian Elkhounds


A senior Keeshond who is blind and deaf attended in style!


A pair of gorgeous Shiloh Shepherds had a great time at Barktoberfest


This Leonberger is truly a gentle giant


Hey, are you a German Shepherd, or a Retriever???


A cute little Shih Tzu poses for the camera


A couple Dachshunds don't mind hanging out with the larger dogs


Here is a handsome Great Dane who was adopted from a rescue group


An Australian Shepherd watches the activities


Beneath all of that fur is the bravest rabbit that ever lived! Osito the bunny (aka the Ewok) had many people wondering if he was the strangest looking Pomeranian at the event! :)



Thanks again to everyone who participated in Barktoberfest 2009!
