And a lot of them will also, a lot of the corgis that show up are actually working dogs.

They're right off the farm chasing cattle one day and then walking around a show ring the next.

And so it's a very niche industry.

The whole thing is a bit wild.

For anyone who's seen the movie Best in Show, I remember asking one of the handlers and mentioning that to him.

He was like, oh, the documentary?

I said, no, that's like a mockumentary.

He said, no, that's a documentary.

The stereotypes that are portrayed in there have some truth to them.

Each breed has its own variety of people.

Poodle people, pug people.

Shizu people, it's, it's just like a interesting expression of our diversity and humanity and the dogs there are a representation of that.

I think we want to express a love towards our dogs and doing that in a visual way is one way of doing that.

I often think that some people obviously will choose a breed with an aesthetic, meet a dog that matches their aesthetic, whether it's maybe their hair or the way they think of themselves or interesting markings on them.

And so it can also start with a dog, but then sometimes it starts with a dog and then the person starts to dress like the dog.

So it's funny, like Elsa is like all white with a little caramel toasting on the top.

And so when my wife Sam comes out and she's dressed in all white, I was like, oh, this is awkward.

Like you guys are both wearing the same thing.

So I think it can go both ways, whether it starts with the person looking for aspects of themself in a dog or the...

person starts to mirror their dog and I think it's great like why not when I'm walking around and I see that like juxtaposition of a person that matches their dog it's like fascinating and I think it's a beautiful expression
