Discuss the show in our Message Boards John C McCartney is shown here with Ch Chesabar's Downeast Cruiser, a chesapekae bay retriever - moments before his Best of Breed win in the ring. The annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show will be held Monday and Tuesday, February 8 and 9. Only the four Group winners from Monday will be benched on Tuesday.
Tickets are available at the box office both days of the show.
They air Best of Group, not Best of Breed. Check your cable guide for USA Network's channel number. In the earlier years at Westminster the prizes that were offered consisted of such things as a Gold and Silver Mounted Pearl Handled Revolver and a Russian Leather Silver Mounted Fly Book and One Gross Assorted Flies. The prizes today are very much different. In Show, sterling silver plates for Group winners, and sterling silver medals for Best of Breed.
