Carly likes to be the center of attention. When her owner is approached on March 9 in a vacant judging ring at the Columbia Kennel Club’s American Kennel Club Conformation and Obedience event at the Boone County Fairgrounds, it is clear that Carly, a Pembroke Welsh corgi, is miffed that this stranger is not there to be her sole audience and makes her protest heard. Carly, also known as Ch. Coventry Vanity Fair, is a champion. “She is the top-winning Welsh corgi in America right now,” says her owner and handler Bill Shelton. Shelton and Carly travel from their home in Pomona, Calif., to more than 100 dog shows a year.
