Lexie Ditlow, 34, of Enola, is among 7 competitors with canine partners hoping to win Best in Show during the nationally-televised show.
resident stepped into the ring at the National Dog Show, broadcast on NBC each year after the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade.
“This is the highest achievement I’ve achieved,” Ditlow said. “I’ve worked really hard to get where I am and I’ve put a lot of my time and effort into this.” Houston has seen so much success at a young age because he is a “lovely representation” of the best traits a Clumber Spaniel possesses, Ditlow said. She shows 10 to 15 dogs each weekend but said Houston is her top dog and priority.
When Houston isn’t competing, he’s a goofy dog that has to wear a bib around his neck to catch drool falling from his droopy mouth. He loves peanut butter-filled bones and taking long walks on New Jersey beaches with his siblings and owner.
