Club Voyage Quebec

The Westminster Kennel Club has a long tradition of hosting America's most prestigious dog show. The 2011 show was no exception, with dogs from around the country travelling to New York City to show on Madison Square Garden's famous green carpet. The 135th annual Champions-only event was held on Monday and Tuesday, February 14 and 15, and Group judging was again broadcast live on the USA and CNBC networks.

In 2011, with the addition of six new breeds, 179 American Kennel Club-approved breeds competed at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show. The AKC divides breeds into seven Groups, depending on the general function for which the breeds were developed. Each Best of Breed winner competes in the Group, with first through fourth place awarded. The first place winners in each Group then compete for Best in Show, which, at Westminster, means the coveted purple-and-gold rosette and a considerable number of silver-plated trophies.
