During the Westminster dog show, security personnel removed a protester holding a sign during a break between semifinal rounds. The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has protested the show for years. However, Westminster emphasizes that the show celebrates all dogs, including those that work as therapy dogs, search-and-rescue dogs, and service dogs for wounded veterans.
One German shepherd breeder highlighted the versatility of the breed, mentioning that some of her pups have become service dogs. While a German shepherd named Monty won this year’s trophy, other dogs also impressed spectators. The audience cheered on various breeds, including a Pekingese named Lumpy, a Doberman pinscher named Penny, and a golden retriever named Tuffy.
The variety of dogs at Westminster was evident, with different breeds showcasing their unique qualities. While big “working” dogs and terriers were featured, so were hairless Xoloitzcuintli dogs with Mexican roots. The audience showed their support for all the competitors, demonstrating their love for dogs of all kinds. The event was filled with excitement and enthusiasm, with spectators calling out breeds and names as if they were cheering for professional sports teams. The Westminster dog show served as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of dogs, highlighting the important roles they play in society beyond just being pets.
