What a great way to spend the evening - invite a couple friends and fellow dog lovers over and have some tea or a glass of wine and watch the 132nd Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

The Group and Best In Show competition will be televised live on USA Network from 8-9 PM EST and continuing on CNBC from 9-11 PM EST Monday and live on USA Network from 8-11 PM EST Tuesday.
All Hound, Terrier, Non-Sporting and Herding breeds and varieties will be judged on Monday, with Groups judged on Monday evening.

Junior Showmanship preliminaries will be judged each afternoon, with the finals to be held at 7:30PM on Tuesday evening.
169 Breeds and Varieties will be judged in seven different groups during the day Monday and Tuesday*.
There are four new breeds eligible for the first time at Westminster in 2008: the Plott (Hound Group), the Tibetan Mastiff (Working), the Swedish Vallhund (Herding) and the Beauceron (Herding). More info.
Mark it on your calendar. It is fun to watch the beautiful dogs!
