Connie Clark: It is an honor and privilege to be invited to judge for The Westminster Kennel Club at any time, but this year’s historic 150th was an exceptional invitation that I was pleased to receive and join in the celebration.
Connie Clark: I was very pleased to be assigned eight major Toy breeds: Chihuahuas (Smooth & Long Coat), Chinese Cresteds, Japanese Chin, Miniature Pinschers, Maltese, Italian Greyhounds, and Havanese. There was wonderful depth of quality in these breeds and I was delighted that the Smooth Chihuahua, Chinese Crested, and Maltese were in Mrs. Patterson’s final cut of eight, with the stunning Maltese winning her Toy Group.
Connie Clark: Westminster Kennel Club is the second-oldest sporting event in the US and has a vast history and tradition, all taking place in New York City. To attend WKC in Manhattan every year is a celebration that I look forward to, with wonderful dogs and amazing people. President Donald Sturz and the incredibly devoted and hard-working members are what sets WKC apart from any other. Therefore, it is a delight to witness what each year brings for all of us to enjoy!
WESTMINSTER. There is only one.
