An artists view of Westminster!
This was a great opportunity to finally visit the biggest and best dog show in the Country! I was invited to share a weekend at Westminster , in NYC with some of the finest poodle ladies ever. My friend, groomer, and breeder of the Whisperwind Poodles was celebrating her 20th year anniversary to the day in Madison Square Garden, a day when her dog Peter WON Westminster. I have always wondered what it would be like to see first hand how the show unfolds. Linda Blackie had devoted her live to this amazing breed: the Standard Poodle. The breed of beauty,brains and braun. The breed most likely to own stock in good hairspray and the breed I have come to own and love. The energy at the Pennsylvannia Hotel is at peak with kennel caravans rolling in, one after the other...Every dog owner there is visually thinking about the show ring and the competition, nerveously processing their butterfly jitters. Its clear that dog fanciers from aroung the world have gathered for the love of our four legged friends...Its a passion like no other. The lobby was a collection of spectators, breeders, handlers, vendors, and of course canines of every breed, and multiples of them. These are the best of the best as only Champions are allowed to show at Westminster. My senses were on overload, making this an adventure for any Dog lover, and we have only been in NYC for an hour!!!! Lots more to share!!
