Nothing like having a Metropolitan Opera star sing the National Anthem! It was absolutely beautifully done, and NYC firefighters presented the colors.
If you haven’t turned on your TV yet, look for FS1 in your channel line-up. Seems weird that David Frei won’t be announcing this year, but I’m hoping the FS1 announcers do a better job than the goofball on NatGeo Wild this afternoon. With any luck, these guys will actually understand the concepts behind a dog show.
I’ll be posting group winners from tonight’s show within about 5 minutes of when they’re announced, and may post a few random tidbits if I hear anything interesting on the show tonight, just in case you can’t be watching.

If you’ve never been to Westminster or even another major dog show, it can be pretty overwhelming. During the day, all events are being held at Piers 92 and 94, which are large empty rooms along the Hudson River. Westminster is such a big show, it takes up two of the piers.
In addition to typical dog show judging, today’s events include the 3rd Annual Masters Obedience Championship, where dogs and their handlers show their ability to respond to commands. And no dog show would be complete without hundreds of vendors showing their dog-related wares including leashes, coats, toys, pet waste containment systems, and everything else you can think of that relates to dogs.

We’ve been loving on those puppies and kittens at Animal Planet’s annual Puppy Bowl for 13 years now, with the 14th annual show queued up for Super Bowl Sunday (February 4, 2018) at 3:00 pm. Since it’s been so popular, Animal Planet has expanded the concept to include senior dogs with the first ever Dog Bowl airing tonight at 8 pm. Dogs over the age of seven will compete, but they all win because they’ll be finding forever homes. The video from Baltimore’s CBS affiliate shows a few of the contenders.
I’m not sure where this originated, but I took it from the Facebook page of a group called I Love Dachshunds. This illustration tells you everything you need to know about Dachshund coat colors, but it also applies to many other dogs, as well. I like that it pictures each coat color with it’s proper name so you can “put a face with a name.” Make sure you click on it to see it full-sized.
I started a while ago to write an article about the genetics of coat color, but I was lost within five minutes, so I know I couldn’t have made it clear enough for anyone to understand. This chart is very helpful!
On February 12th and 13th, top dogs from around the world will venture to New York City to compete for the coveted title of Best in Show at the 142nd Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, presented by Purina® Pro Plan®. Only one dog will break through to victory. Who will take the title this year? More than 2800 dogs compete to be named Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, presented by Purina® Pro Plan®. But you only have to correctly pick the 7 Group Winners and the Best in Show Champion for a chance to win $1 Million.†
And just for playing, you could win our daily prize of a year supply of Purina® Pro Plan®! They’re giving away a year supply of Purina® Pro Plan® every day from 01/02/18 – 02/12/18!
Enter here. I would enter, but my picks are ALWAYS abysmal. Regular readers know I never even come close to picking even the right breed, let alone the right dog. I hope you fare better than I would!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog.
