In the world of purebred dogs, where passion meets excellence, Westminster has long been a beacon of tradition, showcasing the finest in canine sportsmanship. As we approach this year’s show, I am filled with great pride for the rich tapestry of talent, dedication, and camaraderie that defines this iconic event.
Our beloved event continues to evolve, guided by a commitment to excellence and a profound respect for the heritage of purebred dogs. This year, our show promises to captivate hearts and minds alike, as we celebrate the extraordinary achievements of preservation breeders, exhibitors, junior handlers, and the magnificent dogs that grace our rings.
