THE ENTRIES ARE IN: WESTMINSTER IS AMERICA'S DOG SHOW
California (277 entries), New York (249) lead the way;
Samoyeds and Cavaliers high breed entries with 42
NEW YORK - It's called "America's Dog Show" and the entry for the 2006
Westminster Kennel Club All Breed Dog Show shows exactly why.
Westminster's total entry of 2,622 for its 130th annual event February 13-14
at Madison Square Garden in New York City comes from 48 different states,
the District of Columbia, Canada and Puerto Rico. Leading the way with the
most entries are California (277) and New York (249).
Sustaining the far-reaching importance of Westminster in the dog show world
is the fact that the top eight states in terms of entries include Florida
(127), Texas (106) and Washington (96). Other states in the top eight
include Pennsylvania (198), New Jersey (191), and Connecticut (117). The
entries include 9 dogs from Hawaii and 3 from Alaska.
As in recent years, the entry limit of 2,500 dogs was reached quickly after
entries opened on December 9. The final total entry of 2,622 includes dogs
that had been invited to pre-enter for being ranked in the top five of their
respective breeds or varieties, and 122 dogs entered in Junior Showmanship.
Samoyeds and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels have the highest entries of 42
each. Other large entries include Golden Retrievers and Rhodesian
Ridgebacks with 39 each, Australian Shepherds with 35 and French Bulldogs
with 30. Dachshunds have 75 entries in three Varieties, and Poodles, also
with three Varieties, have 47.
For the second year in a row, highlights of the breed judging competition
will be available in streaming video on the Westminster web site within two
hours of the completion of the judging of that breed. A high speed
connection is required for viewing. In 2005, more than 1.5 million streams
were viewed by website visitors from 140 different countries.
The Group and Best In Show competition will be televised live each evening
at 8 PM (ET) on USA Network.
