THERE'S ONLY ONE WESTMINSTER, IT'S AMERICA'S DOG SHOW, AND EVERYONE WANTS TO BE
THERE
California (283 entries), New York (253) once again lead the way; Rhodesian
Ridgebacks (50) and Cavaliers (43) top breed entries
NEW YORK - There's only one Westminster, and the annual entry process for the
Westminster Kennel Club's Annual All Breed Dog Show has once again shown why.
Westminster's total entry of 2,632 for its 131st annual event February 12-13 at
Madison Square Garden in New York City once again filled quickly. That entry
comes from 48 different states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and five
foreign countries (It should be noted that because of certain requirements in
the entry process, many foreign bred dogs are entered from U.S. addresses, and
in the final compilation there will be a number of additional foreign countries
represented).
Leading the way with the most entries are California (283) and New York (253).
The top seven states in entries are the same as last year, with Pennsylvania
(198), New Jersey (179), Florida (135), Texas (132), Connecticut (120),
Massachusetts (102), Virginia (84) and Ohio (78) rounding out the top ten.
As in recent years, the entry limit of 2,500 dogs was reached quickly after the
general entry process began on December 8. The final total entry of 2,632
includes 132 dogs entered in Junior Showmanship.
Rhodesian Ridgebacks have the highest entry with 50, while Cavalier King Charles
Spaniels have 43 entries. Havanese, French Bulldogs and Labrador Retrievers each
have 38 entries, Golden Retrievers and Chinese Cresteds 37. There are 81 total
Dachshunds entered in the three Varieties, which compete separately.
All 165 breeds and varieties recognized by the American Kennel Club will be
represented at the show, to be held at Madison Square Garden. There are no new
breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club for competition in 2007. There are
also 132 entries in Junior Showmanship, where young handlers age 9-18 compete
based only on their handling abilities.
Dr. Robert Indeglia of Providence, RI will judge Best In Show, heading a judging
panel of 34 judges from 14 states, Canada and England.
The breed judging schedule will be posted on www.westminsterkennelclub.org when
finalized. Breeds and Varieties in the Working, Terrier, Toy, and Non-Sporting
Groups will be benched and judged during the day on Monday, with Group
competition that evening. On Tuesday, breeds and varieties in the Sporting,
Hound and Herding Groups will be benched and judged, with judging of those
Groups and Best In Show to be held Tuesday evening.
The evening competition will be televised live each night at 8 PM (ET) on USA
Network. Westminster, televised since 1948, is and always has been America's
most widely-watched live telecast of a dog show.
The Westminster Kennel Club is America's oldest organization dedicated to the
sport of purebred dogs. Established in 1877, Westminster's influence has been
felt for more than a century through its famous all breed, benched dog show held
every year at New York's Madison Square Garden. The show is America's second
longest continuously held sporting event, behind only the Kentucky Derby.
Westminster will stage its 130th consecutive show on February 12-13, 2007,
nationally televised on USA Network. For additional information, log on to
