Horses assume prominence during the initial weekend of May for the Kentucky Derby. The spotlight shifts to dogs this weekend at the Dog Show, which is the second-longest continuously held sporting event, celebrating its 150th annual edition in 2026.
The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show convenes thousands of dogs, all competing for the highly esteemed Best In Show title. Participants exhibit remarkable tricks, demonstrate their agility and obedience, and are meticulously groomed to impress the judges.
Consider this entire event as a celebratory dog Olympics, with an entertaining fashion show included.
