Once again this year, Purina ProPlan is offering a $1 million prize for whoever can pick the correct brackets for the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Remember, judging begins earlier than usual this year, with the hounds and herders being exhibited on Sunday, February 9th.
Submit your entry here. I’ll tell you my picks tomorrow.
Good luck!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
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.

I know I posted a story about this during the Westminster show, but I don’t think I’ve mentioned it since the book came out. This beautiful Weimeraner was rescued off of Craig’s List. After lots of TLC, he competed at the 2012 Westminster show last January. Check out Maverick’s Facebook page or buy his inspiring biography on Amazon.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
