This year, top dogs in the country and world will descend on New York City for the venerated Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. America’s second-oldest continuously-run sporting event will take place in February rather than May, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center and Madison Square Garden. At the 149th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, over 3,000 dogs representing more than 200 different breeds will vie for the coveted Best in Show title. This year, the events of Westminster Week will be February 8, 10, and 11.
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. You can catch every minute of the action on TV, online, and on mobile apps. Don’t miss any of the action!
This year’s event is a benched show, so all dogs must be on their benches Monday and Tuesday from 11 AM — 4 PM. The benching area is open to guests starting at 7 AM.
With so many events during Westminster Week, presented by Purina Pro Plan, it’s important to know when to tune in. All times are in ET.
