Or…The Westminster Dog Show winner will be awarded February 12th!
I never watched the show until about 20 years ago. My dog, Nadia, was a beautiful golden retriever whom we had to put down. She was 17. Shortly after, I was flipping thru the TV channels and stopped short when I saw a field of goldies. With tears flowing, I watched as the judges decided which of those gorgeous dogs would move on. That was it… I was hooked. I’ve been watching it ever since and have gone many times.
Over the weekend, the selection of best breed to compete for Best in Show was held at Piers 92/94 12th Ave. on the west side of the City. It’s a wonderful family outing and one I highly recommend. The finals are at Madison Square Garden. Check it all out on their website. westminster
My pick for the 2019 winner would be, of course, a golden retriever!!!
Watching the selection is a hoot. The crowds cheer, whistle and clap like it’s a basketball or hockey game at the Garden, yelling out for their favorites.
LOVE THIS CITY – AND LOVE THE DOG SHOW!
KAY’S NOTES:
IMPORTANT TO KNOW: The first time I went – no problem getting a ticket. Now, close to being sold out each year. Ticket prices vary – general admission the cheapest.
FUN TO KNOW: Members of the Westminster Kennel Club and some owners come in gowns and tuxedos with lots of glitter looking their very best as they watch these elegant purebreds strut their stuff. The rest of us? You name it, but its always a great time no matter the wardrobe!
