The Westminster Kennel Club 132nd Annual Dog Show
11 February 2008
The first event this year was Westminster KC annual dog show in NYC. I took the trip to have a look on what this show would bring.
It is something with the US that draws us to them, and acording to the KC this  the most important show in the US, and also a show that handlers should have on their resume.
On this show it is only qualified dogs that can attend, therefore not a big entry. 14 Miniatures was entered for judge B.Yamada.

As written above, this is a "handler" show and this pro-handler gave me a laught. With his assistants who did absolutly everything to please him so he could take a couple of rounds in the ring a lift the dog once.
The minute the dog was done in the ring, they rushed to him and did everything for him... as picture on left shows. On the picture under, the dog is made ready for the picture taken. The handler just stood there and smiled while the other ones did everything including placeing the dog correct...





To be honest, it was not all dogs that impressed me. Picture on left was a soft coated wheaten terrier that was placed.
The bitch (picture under) was beautiful, with a good terrier-tempr and a good mover. Her name is Doubloon's Ultimate player

This dog won the terrier-group and seeing this Sealyham alive as amazing. Pictures also shows how pro these handlers are. Look on the smile of the handler when she is ready to take picture....
