Just wanted to remind everybody that the Westminister Dog Show is coming up on Feb. 13 and 14 on USA. Had to calendar it so I wouldn't miss it...don't trust my memory.

Wonder if the Terriers will air on Monday night? I think the Terrier Group is usually on the first night if my memory serves me right.

Westminster Breed Judging Video

Again this year Westminster will offer streaming video highlights of the breed judging during the days of our show (Feb 13-14) on our website. Last year, more than 1.5 million streaming video feeds went out from our web site to 140 countries.

Those highlights (about 10-12 minutes per breed) will be available within two hours of the completion of the judging for each breed. They are being shot by a number of dog show people, the project overseen by Karolynne McAteer of Irish Setter fame, and Chris Terrell, who himself was the last breeder-owner-handler to win Best In Show at the Garden (in 1983 with the great Afghan Hound, Ch Kabik's The Challenger).

Our website is http://www.westminsterkennelclub.org and the breed judging schedule is available there.

You will need a high speed connection (dial up will not work) to view the streaming video. No, they are not downloadable and they are not for sale. The 2005 highlights will also remain available for viewing on the website as well.

Thanks Brad. Looks like the Working Terriers will be shown beginning at 8:00 p.m. Monday night, unless I read it wrong. I'm keeping fingers crossed for a Cairn to win this year.

Thanks for the info Brad, I was so wishing I could see the judging of the breed!
