the 2005 westminster dog show, day one
Valentine's, shmalentine's -- today is the first day of The Westminster Kennel Club's 129th Annual Dog Show at New York's own Madison Square Garden. There are 2,500 dogs competing, 165 breeds and varieties competing in seven different groups, all of them aiming for the ultimate prize: being named Best In Show. Three breeds are in the show for the very first time, the Glen of Imaal Terrier, the Black Russian Terrier, and the Neapolitan Mastiff!
You can catch USA Network's Westminster coverage tonight and tomorrow night from 8 to 11 p.m. ET. Group and Best in Show competitions only, but if your internet access is fast and you're dedicated enough you might want to consider watching
Breed competition highlights online, via the miracle of streaming video.
If you're in New York and don't have cable, or you'd rather watch Best in Show in the company of other dog lovers, head on down to the LES tomorrow night for Dog Show Party 2005, "a fast-paced multi-media and performance event that runs concurrently with the last night of judging at the Westminster Dog Show. As the actual dog show takes place at Madison Square Garden, a live telecast is projected onto a huge screen at Tonic. DSP performers add to the electric energy of the night with expert commentary, live music, dance performances, games and contests. All party attendees need to bring is their love of K-9's and the absurd."
update: Gothamist has a nice post about the dog show, New York City Goes to the Dogs!.
