Westminster: Meet and Compete

(Does anyone else think it’s weird the announcer is giving Trick’s owner and handler John all the credit?)

Day one of Westminster Kennel Club’s dog show weekend in New York City was dubbed Meet and Compete. It was “two events in one”: The Masters Agility Championship and the American Kennel Club’s Meet The Breeds dog fair. Meet and Compete took place at Piers 92 and 94 on Manhattan’s West Side.

The Masters Agility Championship featured dogs and their handlers attacking an obstacle course of jumps, tunnels, weave poles, and more. It’s a race against the clock. The best time won. Trick took the trophy with a time of 32.65 seconds! He beat out more than 300 other dogs. Unlike other Westminster events, mixed breed dogs are allowed to compete in the agility trials.

The eighth annual Meet the Breeds event gave people an opportunity to get up close and personal with more than 100 different breeds in booths scattered across both piers. Enthusiasts manned each booth to answer questions about each breed’s country of origin, historical purpose, and attributes as family pets. The event was staged by the AKC.
