A Crowd of Pups and People Await Furry Finale at Westminster Dog Show
During the winter season, the American Kennel Club National Championship is held, rewarding $50,000 to the Best in Show winner. A large crowd of spectators and dog lovers await the finalists, each of whom is vying for a spot at the Best in Show podium. Some dog owners spend thousands of dollars maintaining their prized possessions and juggle a full time job in order to make it to Westminster each year.
The Westminster dog show is one of the most important canine events of the year. Held in New York City, the show typically takes place under the lights of Madison Square Garden and ends at midnight. The show is also known for its attention to detail, including over the top haircuts and faux-paws.
The most important thing to know about the show is that it is not the most profitable endeavor in the world. The average entry fee for the show is thousands of dollars and the dogs are required to undergo hours of grooming and preparation.
In order to be considered a worthy winner at Westminster, a breed must meet certain criteria. The most coveted prize, the Best in Show, is awarded to the dog with the best overall performance. The judges also have the power to remove a dog from the competition if they find it to be dual-bred. The competition is also very difficult to win because of the high competition and the fact that most dog breeds are bred to meet show standards.
The most exciting part of the competition is watching the finalists vie for the Best in Show. Each of the dog breeds has their own unique quirks and quarks. Some dogs have a hard time making it to the top, while others have a dazzling show of skill and athleticism. It is not unusual to see dogs with long floppy ears and hair that appears to float through the ring.
The show is the most popular dog event of the year and is usually held in the winter. The finalists are named on the night of the show, but the Best in Show will not be announced until Tuesday. The show also includes agility trials, which were added to the competition in 2014. This year’s finalists are a chic Maltese named Hollywood and a German shepherd named River.
The most important thing to remember is that dog breeds can become popular in the United States after they win the Westminster Dog Show. In fact, the American farm shepherd is a good example of a breed that has achieved such an honor. While some dog breeds have been hailed as the best of the best, others have been smeared by disreputable kennels.
One of the more interesting dog breeds at Westminster is the cocker spaniel. In the 1930s and 1940s, these dogs were a prized possession of fine field dogs, but they soon deteriorated into neurotic house pets. They also became expensive to maintain and hard to train. They were even sold to dog owners for a premium. They became high strung and snappy and eventually lost their ability to flush birds.
