Last year an 85 pound female Scottish Deer Hound named Hickory took home the honors at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. That was an unusual win for a breed which isn’t all that well known.
What will happen this year at the United States’ most prestigious dog show? There are always surprises, disappointments and some seeming miracles at this show, so really anything goes. One thing is for sure, it will be exciting.
If you just want television schedules and times you can go to this Westminster link.
However, if you would like to take a behind the scenes look at the show and read about some of the dogs and their handlers, go to the Westminster Kennel Club.org link and have a fun time going through the site. There are some wonderful videos to watch there too.
About fluffyfeet
I was raised in rural Kansas and I have been involved with animals my whole life including breeding and showing Shih Tzus. I have owned both gaited and Quarter horses. My animal family has included a wide range of critters including raccoons, opossums, turtles, hamsters and gerbils.For a while my health situation forced me to limit the number and types of animals I own. But I still have two loving and beautiful cats-Thunder and Doug.I lived for many years in Malibu, California where animals abound. I now live in a very small town in Nevada and am hoping to move within this area to an acreage where I can again own dogs and horses. I am now an amputee so riding horses may be limited. However, I will try and at least will have some 'pasture buddies' to share life with. I will also adopt dogs and cats as I can to fill out the family.I want to help as many animals as I can to find loving and appreciative families. That is why this blog was established.
