Dogs have begun to compete for the biggest gift in the most important pallet of the United States – the best of the show – the Westminster Kenel Club dog show.
Westminster’s traditional, cleaner-only judgment is held in New York City on Monday and Tuesday, which is closed by the best people at the prize on Tuesday night.
Look at some actions so far.
