Top Ten Westminster 2014 FAQs

Nope, it’s not Tuesday, but I needed to get this Top Ten list up in time for people to prepare for the upcoming granddaddy of all dog shows, the 2014 Westminster Kennel Club All-Breed Show.

You can catch the Finals of the Masters Agility Championship on Fox Sports 1 from 7 – 9 pm ET on Saturday, February 8th. The conformation show is on CNBC Monday, February 7th from 8 – 11 pm ET and on USA Network on Tuesday, February 8th from 8 – 11 pm ET.

If your television is glued to the Olympics, check back here often. I’ll be live-blogging both events – a little during the day, but a lot during the evening.

Here are the answers to some of the questions you might have about dog shows in general and Westminster in particular.

2014 Westminster Agility Wrap-Up

Leave a comment

To close out the evening, we have the trophies!

Congratulations to Roo! for winning the All American Trophy, and to Kelso for winning the Grand Championship in Masters Agility.

Some closing thoughts:

The evening show was great, but I would ask Westminster to give some thought to live streaming some of the day-time events. This is an exciting sport, and it’s so much fun to watch. I would have loved to have seen some of the earlier competition. Some of the dogs were showing the effects of a very long day during tonight’s competition, so it would have been nice to see them when they were fresher.

There was a little bit of confusion at the end, as the judges were awarding the trophies, but other than that, this was a great show. Congratulations to the folks at the Westminster Kennel Club for allowing mixed breed dogs to enter, and for putting on a very nice inaugural event!

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
