I don’t watch the show but I have a coworker whose german shepard has just become eligible to participate in next year’s Westminster dog show.
Let me tell you, there’s a lot of dog shows. Every weekend she travels with her 2 dogs Kayleen and Lazar Wolf (the one participating next year) to all the different dog shows. You have to win a certain number of shows and get a certain number of points before you can even go to Westminster. I imagine next year I’ll watch since her dog will be there.
