The Florida Gulf Coast Cluster dog show wrapped up Sunday in Brooksville.
Organizers of the dog show, which has been going on for most of January, say this year was a challenge due to the weather, which included cold temperatures, heavy rain and strong wind.
Jeanne St. John said attendance at the show was mixed. More dogs and their owners showed up to hit the ring, but fewer people turned out to watch the fun.
"The weather kept a lot of people away," she said.
Thousands of dogs from all over the U.S., Canada and Mexico made the trip and some will be back next year. St John is hoping for warmer weather.
"You want that 70-ish weather, sun shining," she said. "We all hope for that."
For the dogs and their owners who showed up on Sunday, the trick was to keep warm by bundling up.
Krista Baker says her dog Simon gets grumpy when he's cold, so she keeps his jacket on most of the time.
"We take it off right before he goes in the ring so he stays warm," she said.
Organizers say the dog show is one of the largest in the Southeast.
