Hundreds of dogs of many shapes and sizes stepped into the OC Fair & Event Center in Costa Mesa on Saturday for the first day of the Santa Ana Valley Kennel Club’s 66th annual AKC licensed all-breed dog show.

The show, which ends Sunday, is expected to feature more than 1,200 canine competitors. Admission is free and open to the public.

A silent auction at the show will benefit the kennel club’s Police K9 Blood Bank Fund, a partnership between the Garden Grove-based Hemopet Blood Bank and the Orange County Police Canine Assn. The fund helps contribute to the care of greyhounds that donate blood to police dogs.
