Winnipeg, Man., home to the Red River Exhibition, hosted record crowds at their third annual Red River Ex Continental Stock Dog Championship.

With over $14,000 in prize money on the line, the event, which also includes a cattle handling class, attracted over 30 talented dogs and their handlers from Saskatchewan, Alberta, rural Manitoba and as far away as Texas.
