But from the first time she stepped in the ring as a dog handler, she knew she could be satisfied doing nothing else.
“It’s an integral part of my life,” said Frykman, who drove from her hometown in northern Illinois to participate in the annual Chattanooga Kennel Club Inc. Dog Show this weekend.
Frykman, who also breeds dogs, was among hundreds of people participating and spectating. The event showcased nearly 800 canines, including a black Puli handled by Linda Pitts of Knoxville who won Best in Show.
People came from as far as California to participate in the event.
