  • The event expects about 3,000 champion dogs, features breed-by-breed judging on February 2 and 3, and awards the best in show trophy on February 3 evening.
  • David Fitzpatrick, a two-time Westminster winner with Pekingese, will present the trophy while animal welfare groups regularly protest dog breeding practices at the show.
