This year, top dogs in the country and world will descend on the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York City for the venerated Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. America’s second-oldest continuously-running sporting event will take place May 6 through May 9. This year, at the 147th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, thousands of dogs representing many different breeds will vie for the coveted Best in Show title.
Ahead of the much-anticipated Best in Show judging, dogs will be participating in the Masters Agility Championship, the Junior Showmanship competition, and the Masters Obedience Championship. Don’t miss any of the action — opportunities abound to catch every minute of the action on television, online, and on mobile apps from just about anywhere.
