This was the first year
we were able to attend Westminster in person. We decided to go
to the show as a spectator in conjunction with going to see a
litter of puppies in upstate New York. It was a delightful trip
and we were able to visit with several other Dal breeders from
the area. There were quite a few Dal breeders who flew in from
various parts of the country just to see the show.
Every serious dog exhibitor
should attend Westminster, either as a spectator or an exhibitor,
at least once. It will give you a whole new perspective on the
show. One of our most favorite parts of the show was being able
to watch the indivdual breeds being judged. This was done during
the day (untelevised) and then the Best of Breed winners competed
in the groups in the evening (televised).
