I went to the Westminster Kennel Club dog show on Monday February 15 , 2010. I started my day in New York City at 7:15am, which I consider rather early. Only a day full of dogs would get me up at 4:45 in the morning. No that’s not morning. That’s dark.
But it was worth it. My mission was to cover the show for Greenwich Time,The Stamford Advocate, Danbury News Time, and the Connecticut Post. My reward: dogs everywhere!
Here are some of the pictures from the show.
Madison Square Garden welcomed the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
Pam Lambie, had tears in her eyes, as the judge, Dr. Richard Meen picked her Rhodesian Ridgeback, Ikaika, Best in Breed at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Lambie, is co-owner and handler, with owners Tom and Barbara Peach, who live in Hawaii and Ian and Sonnet McKinnon, who live in Greenwich, CT
Pam Lambie, handler and part owner, gave Ikaika some love and support, as he goes through his paces.
Ikaika checked out Brick Sellers, the year-old-grandson of one of the owners, with a kiss.

I was at Westminster Dog Show and my picture was made(the hat that was a scottish terrier)and was wondering if it was published in the paper or in any other advertisement?I think the picture was made by Helen Neafsey.We were in the dog benching area.
