Held in San Jose (not CA), over 300 dogs came out to participate in the two-day pup pageant held by Spanish-language magazine, <a href="http://www.petsymas.com/" target="_blank">Pets Y Mas</a>, and turns out there was more than one winner! This cutie pie is Lila, a female Miniature Schnauzer, who won the Miss Canine photogenic competition at the festivities. To see the first place winners in the puppy and adult dog categories read more. </p> <p>Below that's Tachie, a female Beagle, who captured the first place crown for 'Miss Canine Costa Rica 2008' in the puppy category and female Yorkshire Terrier, Sammy, crowned as the all-around winner of 'Miss Canine Costa Rica 2008' in the adult category. Too cute – they're all stars in my book! </p> <p><div class='gallery_thumbs ' ><div class=title><!-- gallery teaser --><a class=photo-count href='http://www.petsugar.com/1802396'>View 5 Photos ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --></div><ul></ul></div><br /> <a href="http://www.gettyimages.com" target="_blank">Source</a></p> http://www.petsugar.com/1802384#comment news scoop Beagles Yorkshire Terriers miniature schnauzers miss canine costa rica 2008 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 08:00:13 -0700 PetSugar http://www.petsugar.com/1802384 http://www.petsugar.com/1802396 <a href="http://www.petsugar.com/1802396"><img width=160 height=98 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/10/104166/30_2008/minischnauzercrop.large.jpg'></div></a> <div class='gallery_thumbnail'> <a href='/1802396'></a> </div> <div class='call_to_action'> <!-- gallery teaser --><a href="/1802396?page=0,0,0">View Slideshow ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --> </div> <hr class=space> http://www.petsugar.com/1802396#comment Mon, 21 Jul 2008 13:53:48 -0700 PetSugar http://www.petsugar.com/1802396
