Puttin’ on the Dogs

Announcing the 133rd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at Madison Square Garden, today and tomorrow. There is only one Westminster, and it’s undisputedly both America's Dog Show and the world’s. It’s also the 2nd longest continuously held sporting event in the USA.

Put another way, Westminster pre-dates the light bulb, the automobile, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Washington Monument, basketball and the World Series.

As the canine equivalent of the Super Bowl and Academy Awards combined, it celebrates the wonderful canine spirit and the deep bond between man and dog. See the greatest of the greats in the sport of dogs, all top champions at the top of their game, all assembled in one place and time every year.

Indeed, there is only one Westminster. Monday and Tuesday, February 9-10, 2009.
