Stump is the oldest dog to win the best in show title at the Garden and in fact, came out of retirement to do so.  That’s quite an accomplishment for a dog at any age – but for a 10 year old, that’s amazing!

I love to watch the Westminster Kennel Club dog show every year.  I curl up on the couch with my dogs and watch the amazing competition.
But did you know that there is a series of dog shows before the “big” show?
You can now catch them all online – as well as expert commentaries, direct from the judges and more.  Everything starts on Thursday, February 5th and runs through the weekend.  Westminster begins on Monday the 9th, so you can enjoy six full days of dog shows!
Westminster Weekend dog show videos are available online here.
