Westminster dog show is a study in canine contrasts as top prize awaits
NEW YORK (AP) — If every dog must have its day, one champion canine is about to have its year.
By the end of Tuesday night, one of the more than 2,500 hounds, terriers, spaniels, setters and others that entered this year’s Westminster Kennel Club dog show will be crowned best in show.
Will Comet the shih tzu streak to new heights after winning the big American Kennel Club National Championship last year? Could Monty, a giant schnauzer who is the nation’s top-ranked dog, make a play for the Westminster title that narrowly eluded him last year?
Or would a wise bet be Sage the miniature poodle or Mercedes the German shepherd, both guided by handlers who have won the big prize before?
What about Louis, the Afghan hound whose handler and co-owner says he lives up to his breed’s nickname as “the king of dogs”? Or Micah, the striking black cocker spaniel?
