What is the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show?
The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is the second oldest continuous sporting event in the United States, after the Kentucky Derby. It is also the longest nationally televised live dog show, according to the Westminster Kennel Club.
Due to the pandemic last year, the Westminster Dog Show was rescheduled for June, but it has survived many global wars, pandemics and economic downturns. Unlike previous Westminsters, this one took place on the grounds of the Lyndhurst Estate in Tarrytown, New York, rather than in New York City. Wasabi CHG CH Pequest Wasabi beat over 2,400 other canines from 209 breeds and won his giant purple ribbon and silver bowl. Here s all you need to know about the pretty pooch.
