February 9-10, 2004
February of 2004, I did something I have always wanted to do; I went back to New York to visit the reknowned Westminster Kennel Club.
This was the 128th show which is the second longest running sporting event next to the Kentucky Derby. I had never been to New York before so this was truly a treat.
Yes, there are thousands of people surrounding all 6 active rings.
The crowds were about 4 deep around each ring. I did feel sorry for the dogs that had to go through them to get to the rings.
I took quite a few photos and here are some of the collections
German Shorthair Pointer w/Jimmy Bettis
Whippet - Ch Starline's Sweet Sensation
Whippet - Ch Starline's Dream Date
This was directly across the street from Madison Square Garden and Penn Station.
Our hotel was 2 blocks from the Empire State Building. This landmark was lit up in purple and gold in honor of Westminster.
We stayed at the Hotel Pennsylvania
