Best In Show.

I don't even own a dog but one of my favorite televised events to watch - apart from the Olympics and World Games - is the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show which gets underway this weekend.
Twenty-five hundred dogs from 210 different breeds will compete for the Best In Show trophy.
If you've watched it before, do you think your dog could match
up against those on show?
I wonder if there are any cat shows.
Which is your favorite annual or other event you look forward to watching?

To the casual viewer, competing at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show might look as simple as getting a dog, grooming it and leading it around a ring. But there’s a lot more to getting to and exhibiting in the United States’ most prestigious canine event

Even I enjoy watching some of the videos with all dog tricks. Our dog Topaz used to drag his mat close to our sofa and push and bring his bowl when we sat for movie night. He would enjoy it with us and looked forward to having popcorn in his bowl 
He was smart and adhered to the rules in the house. He was not allowed in the kitchen or on any furniture.

@Kandae11 He was this light brown Golden retriever. My husband named him after his birth stone. He stayed with us for close to 18 long years.

@arunima25. Wow! You had him for a long time. Sad that they have to leave.

I like ice skating but I have not watched it in years.
I can watch roller skating though each day on YouTube.

I don't watch shows now, but rather K-dramas or variety shows like Jinny's Kitchen where famous actors and a BTS member are operating a restaurant in Mexico. It was fun watching the customers realize that their waiter has starred in the award-winning "Parasite" film. And that the other workers there are all celebrities

It is always interesting to see who the judges pick for the winning dog. I also enjoy watching Equestrian seeing the riders go through the obstacle course with their horses.

@dgobucks226. That could be possible, like in everything else.

@Kandae11 I wonder if those judges have a bias for a certain breed of dog? I'm sure they are looking for certain standards but some subjectivity has to come into play. Don't you think?

I am aware of such shows but have never watched one and can imagine how interesting it would be No our dogs were simple folk knowing no tricks but well behaved.

They must have that on twice a year. Because I know there is an event at the holidays as well. It is cute to watch, but I find a little bit goes a long way.

I do enjoy watching the Westminster Dog Show and those dogs are beautiful. My dog thinks she's a show dog but I won't tell her otherwise
