A behind-the-scenes look at the stories and photos of the 134th Westminster dog show in New York City. This year's show was held on February 15 and 16, 2010 at Madison Square Garden.
Westminster is a bench show, meaning that the dogs must be stationed on the "bench" (mini stalls for the dogs - a viewing area) when not in the ring on the day they show.
Each year 2,500 champion dogs compete at this show. This year, 3 new breeds were admitted: Irish Red and White Setter, Norwegian Buhund and the Pyrenean Shepherd.
I strive to feature a variety of breeds and focus on stories that involve service or rescue dogs plus lots of behind-the-scenes views of how the dogs spend their time. Stories and interviews with a veterinarian, a handler and her service dog, and an epilepsy alert show dog will be added to this gallery over the next few days.
