This year the 137th Westminster
Kennel Club Dog show will actually
take place in two places. There are 3,000 dogs competing for the first time in 15 years.

During the day the judging will take
place in Piers 92/94. The night time
portion will take place, at Madison Square Garden.

There are so many dogs, that they had to expand. Its the Dog Superbowl!

Who doesn’t love to watch these gorgeous dogs show their stuff. So having it in two places gives fans a chance to check out the dogs, and buy some cool dog bling.

Some new breeds this year are.the Treeing Walking Coonhound, and the Russel Terrier.
I’m fascinated by the Treeing Walking Coonhound, who gets
its name by chasing a raccoon up a tree. Its absolutely
fascinating to watch these coonhounds climb up a tree. They
look like a huge beagle. A new favorite for me to watch this year.

Last year we all watched Uno’s sister Allie
step into the ring. I haven’t heard of any
beagles to watch for. Just have to tune in
and see. If you know of any beagles that
are competing for best in show, tell us about it.

The Westminster Dog Show will air on CNBC on Monday at 7 central and
Tuesday on USA Network live at 7 Central. If you really love the show
like I do, you can download the free Westminster Dog Show 2013 app for your IOS  mobile device on Itunesicon, and its also

The app will stream the judging from all twelve rings. The Westminster
website will also feature live streaming video.

purebred dogs. Dog’s are hand fed
filet mignon, given the best shampoos,
spa treatments and ultimate pampering.

Maverick is one of those rags to riches stories.
He was found on Craigslist of all places. He
was in very bad shape.

Maverick hit the big time when
he was entered in the Westminster
Kennel Club Dog Show.


ABC News Reports:

“[He] was a rescue that was abused and neglected and in terrible shape,” Maverick’s owner, Dan Stallings, told ABC News.
Maverick’s previous owners kept him in a crate for years.

He was so thin you could see his ribs. His nose was infected and he’d chewed his own tail raw, but Stallings nursed him back to health and their bond is now palpable.

 

Five months after rescuing Maverick, Stallings started entering him in shows, and Maverick started winning, making it to the biggest stage of all.
“I can’t even imagine [if he wins],” said Stallings. “That would really tear me up. I’d be so happy for him.”
As Stallings watched nervously, Maverick and his trainer paraded before the judge today. But in the end, the judge picked another dog.

Details

Congratulations Maverick your a true
winner in my book.A new life
a new owner and the start of
a beautiful bond.
