It’s finally here! Westminster week! Will you be watching?

[poll id=”90″]

The schedule:
Masters Agility FOX Sports 1, 8 – 10 pm tonight
Conformation: CNBC 2/15 8 – 11 pm for Hounds, Toys, Non-Sporting, and Herding Dogs
USA 2/16 8 – 11 pm for Sporting, Working, Terriers and the all-important Best in Show

If you’re in Canada, Animal Planet will have the live shows on the 15th and 16th from 8 – 11 pm.

Can’t get to a TV? WKCLive.com will be live-streaming the breed judging from 8 am – 5 pm both Monday and Tuesday. The evening best in group and best in show competitions will also be live-streamed from 8 pm – 11 pm Eastern, with a time-delay on the West Coast so they won’t see it until 8 pm PST.

I can’t find anywhere that will be bringing us the obedience trials. Maybe next year?

As always, I’ll be live blogging both evening events, and I’ll try to post a few things from the agility competition tonight, as well.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Westminster Winners Week Day One: Guess the Year

1 Comment

I’m about half-way on vacation this week. I’m going to be teaching some classes, but they’re in Hawaii, so I’m counting it as vacation. I thought it might be fun to set up a game that will run while I’m gone.

I’ve dug out some photos from the Westminster archives. Each day, 5 of the photos will appear on the blog. Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is to guess which year is pictured. Extra points if you can name any details, such as the name or breed of the dog or the name of the owner. (And these are points in the sense that “Whose Line Is It Anyway” gives points – they don’t matter.)
