Best In Show: The Labrador Attempts To Win The Westminster Dog Show
we’re at Madison Square Garden at the
Westminster Kennel Club dog show showing
Labradors
[Music]
I’m crazy nervous and excited I’m barb
Gilchrist and I’m from the state of
Washington so we took a trip out when we
got the call yes I would judge
Westminster for sure why is this the
biggest dog show on earth it is a big
deal because it’s it’s just so popular
it’s in New York I mean the Big Apple
who doesn’t want to come here and it’s
it’s because of the clout of this club
[Music]
I started when I was a little kid as a
junior handler and Labradors were the
breed that I started with and I stayed
with them the whole time so
Labradors are it for me tell us what you
were looking for today I was looking for
a dog that I thought could do everything
our breed is about working also this is
just a glamour show although today it is
it’s about dogs that look athletic and
that have endurance and that can go out
and slug through the mud and retrieve
birds and then come home and be
beautiful too
who’s our winner today this is Wendy the
tree when she gets home she’ll get to go
swimming that’s her favorite thing I was
going through the history of the
best-in-show I didn’t see any Labradors
no and you know Labradors are the most
popular breed and have been for many
many years so we’re hoping that the one
I said today might be able to do it but
it hasn’t happened yet for our breed
part of it is because it’s not a really
flashy breed but best in shows graded on
according to your own standards so each
breed up to its own standard not
compared to a really flashy long coated
dog so hopefully a really good Labrador
would be seen as superior and maybe Best
in Show
