138th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show

You can watch the first half of the 138th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show tonight, 2/10, at 8/7C on CNBC!

This half of the show airs the judging of the hound, toy, non-sporting and herding groups. The judging of all breeds is live streamed all day on westminsterkennelclub.org and the official app which you can find in your device’s appropriate app store.

The second half of the show is aired on USA tomorrow night, 2/11, at 8/7C which includes sporting, working, and terrier groups along with best in show!

Here are some photos of dogs getting ready today:

The grooming preparations are very intensive for breeds such this Maltese named Jewels. Here expression might be a bit less enthusiastic than the above poodle:

These dogs are groomed so much that I feel some people get unrealistic expectations of how their pure breed pet should look. I mean, this boxer is having its ears shaved:

I never knew you had to do something like that for boxers. Do you go to these lengths to groom your pure breed (non show) dogs?

This year in addition to the dog show there was an agility competition. The first Westminster Masters Agility Championship took place on Saturday, and was open to not only pure bred but also mixed and half breed dogs.

The winner was Kelso, a 7 year old Border Collie:

The winner of the Best All American (mixed breed) dog was Roo! a 6 and a half year old husky mix:

In any event, these beautiful dogs will be on show tonight and tomorrow. Don’t forget to tune in!

Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show

The 137th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show runs today and tomorrow (February 11 and 12). 187 different breeds of dog will compete to win the title Best in Show.

628x471

The judging of the groups and Best in Show will take place on tv, but this year a live stream is available online to watch all of the judging. The live stream is available at WKC Live.

Scheduled of events:

Monday: During the day Hound, Toy, Non-Sporting and Herding group breeds will be judged. Group competition will be televised live from 8 pm – 11 pm Eastern time on CNBC.

Tuesday: During the day Sporting, Working, and Terrier groups will be judged. Group competition along with Best in Show will be aired on USA network from 8 to 11 pm, with Best in Show taking place at around 10:30 pm.

Fun Facts:

1. Westminster is the second longest running sporting competition in the USA, second only to the Kentucky Derby.

2. The show predates the invention of the light bulb and automobile.

3. 25 men have been elected president since the show began, and 12 states have joined the Union.

4. Only once has the offspring of a Best in Show winner been able to also win Best in Show – the English Springer Spaniel Ch. Salilyn N’ Erin’s Shameless in 2000 whose sire (Ch. Salilyn’s Condor) won in 1993.

5. Two new breeds were recognized and allowed to compete at the show this year the Russel Terrier and the Treeing Walker Coonhound. The decision to recognize a new breed is based on interest from the breed’s active parent club along with sufficient numbers and geographic distribution in this country.

Russel Terrier

russell

The Russel is a working terrier, a pack hunter, which is known for its small size and unique chest which is compressible to allow for efficient hunting below ground. These dogs are intelligent, loyal, and athletic. The breed comes in three coat varieties – smooth, broken, and rough – which is usually white with spots. Visit the breeds official website at theartc.org.

Treeing Walker Coonhound

treeingwalker

This Coonhound was bred to track and tree racoons, which it is ideally suited with endurance and drive. The breed is intelligent, social, and confident. The breed was developed from the Walker Foxhound mixed with other hounds, and retains the coloring of the Walker. Visit the breeds official website at the akc.org.

Do not forget to watch the show tonight and tomorrow night on TV, or take a look at the live stream at westminsterkennelclub.org.

Westminster Dog Show Best in Show

Best in Show for the 136th annual Westminster Dog Show was Malachy, the pekingese.

(Jason DeCrow/AP)

The winning dog receives no prize money, but they do receive the prestigious Best in Show title and the bowl pictured above. This is the 6th time that a Pekingese has won Best in Show at Westminster, and this is the 115th overall Best in Show win for Malachy.

Many dog breeds have never won Best in Show at Westminster and for a few of the other breeds competing for Best in Show it could have been a breed first. Also competing against the Pekingese was a German Shepherd, Dalmatian, Wire Haired Dachshund, Irish Setter,  Kerry Blue Terrier, and Doberman Pinscher. I was hoping the Dalmatian would take it, but that was not the case.

The 6 other dogs that were in the running for the Best in Show title were:

Capi, Babheim‘s Captain Crunch, the German Shepherd

Ian, Spotlight’s Ruffian, the Dalmation

Cinders, Raydachs Playing With Fire, the Wire Haired Dachshund
