At a Glance

Dachshunds, Pointers and Spaniels all agree — there’s nothing quite like the Westminster Kennel Club Annual Dog Show! Now in its 149th year, the Westminster Dog Show brings the best of the breeds each season to Madison Square Garden. During the day, see who takes the ribbon for your favorite breed, and enjoy opportunities to meet people behind the scenes who train the champions. Then in the evenings, witness group judging events and the “Best in Show” competition. You’ll also enjoy free time and access to all of the associated show events.
Activity Level
On Your Feet
I’m comfortable with some walking throughout the day. I expect to get on and off of a coach, and I’m ready to stroll through cities and to stand for a few hours when we’re learning in museums.

Best of all, you’ll…

  • Attend the group judging and “Best in Show” at Madison Square Garden, with preferred seating.
  • Watch some of your favorite dogs as they compete in the Masters Agility Championship.
  • Enjoy an insider’s look into the dog show world as you meet trainers and handlers who work with these champions each day.
