The Westminster Dog Show is Back and Here's How You Can Stream It at Home
After being postponed, the one-stop-shop to all the goodest, cutest, furriest dog breeds under one roof is finally back. As America's oldest organization dedicated to the sport of dogs, the Westminster Kennel Club has given animal lovers an excuse to drop everything, grab the pupcorn and stream a whole weekend's worth of our four-legged friends taking place Saturday, June 18 through Wednesday, June 22.
Dating back to 1948, the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is the second-longest, continuously held sporting event in the country. With nearly 3,000 dogs participating in the event, we're paw-sitive you'll get a glimpse of all kinds of breeds. Country Living caught up with Westminster's resident expert Gail Miller Bisher about the show's return to New York, including the introduction of four new breeds to the show.
"Since 1877, the mission of the Westminster Kennel Club has been to celebrate purpose-bred dogs and we’re very much looking forward to being back at the Lyndhurst Estate for the 146th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show presented by Purina Pro Plan® to continue this tradition,” said Gail, Fox Sports Dog Show Analyst. “New for this year’s show, FOX Deportes will telecast coverage of the Group and Best in Show competitions to its large Spanish-speaking audience. We are also excited to welcome two newly AKC-recognized breeds, the Russian Toy and the Mudi, and viewers will be able to see 209 recognized breeds and varieties compete for the coveted title of Best in Show.”
When is the 2022 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show?
2022 marks the first year the show will be held in June and it just so happens to be on Father's Day weekend. The Dog Show begins Saturday, June 18 and continues until Wednesday, June 22. It all starts with the Masters Agility Championship at 8AM on Saturday and ends with the exciting crowning of Best in Show on Wednesday.
You can find the details on the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show's website, including the schedule, tickets, hidden gem breeds and posters that commemorate the weekend.
How to watch and stream the 2022 Westminster Dog Show
Fans can catch the 2022 Westminster Dog Show multiple ways. Certain events will be streamed live from the show's official website, including breed judging which will be available on demand.
Fans can also stream the Dog Show from anywhere through the FOX NOW App and FOX Sports App. Another option is to tune into FOX's FS1 and FS2 channels or FOX Deportes to watch live.
Of course, you probably can't watch every second of the show, so you can keep up with updates and behind the scenes action through the show's social media posts on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Good luck to all those paw-ticipating and happy watching!
