Westminster Dog Show Expands Venue, Adds Two New Breeds

1 Comment

The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is expanding its venue and adding two new breeds, the Russell Terrier and Treeing Walker Coonhound, bringing the number that will vie for the Best in Show to 187. For the first time in its 137-year history, the two-day show on February 11-12 will be held at two venues. In addition to New York’s Madison Square Garden, it will be extended to Piers 92/94 on the Hudson River, so dog lovers can get up close and meet their favorite breeds.

2012 National Dog Show: Winners Of Purina’s Competition Announced

Leave a comment

This win is one for the history books. For the second year in a row, a Wire Fox Terrier won the coveted Best in Show title at the National Dog Show presented by Purina. The same breed hasn’t won two years in row in a major competition since an English Springer Spaniel won Westminster in 1971 and 1972.
