ECHAKO ALLEY XHIBITION ROUNDS 3 52ND ANNUAL NECHAKO VALLEY EXHIBITION _________________________________________________________________________

The ancient Romans called the hottest, most humid days of summer “Dog Days”. The name came about because they associated the hottest days of summer with the star Sirius. Sirius was known as the “Dog Star” because it was the brightest star in the constellation Canis Major (Large Dog). Sirius also happens to be the brightest star in the night sky. Sirius is so bright that the ancient Romans thought it radiated extra heat toward Earth. During the summer, when Sirius rises and sets with the sun, they thought Sirius added heat to the sun’s heat to cause hotter summer temperatures. For the ancient Romans, the dog days of summer occurred from late July to late August. Although the “Dog Days” of summer are usually the hottest, they don’t have anything to do with either dogs or the star Sirius. Instead, the tilt of the earth explains why these days tend to be the summer’s hottest.

"The Canine Stars Stunt Dog Show is an exciting extreme sports production for family entertainment – highlighting popular dog sports such as dock diving, freestyle frisbee disc, flyball racing, high jumping, and dog agility with multiple breeds of dogs and mixes who have been rescued or adopted from shelters.

Keri Caraher and Ethan Wilhelm began competing in dog sports with their personal pet dogs in 2001 in Colorado.

They competed across North America at the highest levels in Agility, Flyball racing, Disc Dog, and Dock Diving, including earning top placements at National and World Champion events. In 2005 they began performing professionally with their dogs at Theme Parks, Fairs, Pet Expos and Zoos, including tours across Canada and the Virgin Islands.

In January 2012, The Canine Stars team was created to bring our amazing rescued dogs to even larger audiences, while emphasizing and encouraging pet adoption and promoting a strong interactive bond with man’s best friend."
