2020 Bartlesville Kennel Club results

As dog shows returned, who won at the 2020 Bartlesville Kennel Club?

Dog shows returned for the first time since mid-March with a cluster of events held at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma, about a half hour north of Oklahoma City. One of those events was the 2020 Bartlesville Kennel Club, which saw a tremendous amount of competitors taking part.

This show took place on Saturday, June 27, with a grand total of 1,139 dogs entered.

Incidentally, Guthrie was the original capitol of the Sooner State, and Bartlesville is located about an hour north of Tulsa.
