Behind the Scenes at the Westminster Dog Show
It still isn’t Madison Square Garden, but at least the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is back in New York City.
Just a 7 train ride away from Midtown, champion dogs invaded the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens, this weekend for the 147th edition of the competition, which organizers claim is the second oldest continuously held sporting event in the United States. The very good dogs (they are all very good dogs) competed in agility and obedience championships over the weekend before moving to two days of judging to determine the best in each breed and group and, of course, best in show, which will be judged Tuesday night in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
