What a pleasure to be writing this week’s Table Talk from the incredible Lyndhurst Mansion, home of the 146thWestminster Kennel Club dog show. So far, we have been blessed with incredible weather. While not having spectators last year provided for very spacious show grounds, the addition of spectators this year really brings back the feeling of excitement that we are accustomed to at one of the greatest shows on earth. Space under the tent is a bit more “compact” than last year. The venue, in my opinion, is a fabulous alternative to the Piers and Madison Square Garden. The Westminster Kennel Club has done a fabulous job transforming the venue into a fantastic home for the show. The group tent, once again, is climate-controlled with a carpeted floor. Once inside, you would not know you are in a temporary structure! For the first time this year, FOX Deportes is doing a simulcast of the group and Best In Show judging. This is a terrific outreach opportunity to the Latin community as they will be able to watch the broadcast in their native language. Congratulations to the Westminster Kennel Club for a phenomenal job of putting a terrific show together!

Back in 1962 Dorothy and Diane Poranski were in there for Alva Rosenberg’s late Monday night Smooth Dachshund judging. Well, Dorothy is gone but today Diane was there. She’s been at it for all those 60 years, and this year she hit the target, finally winning a Westminster BOV with her Smooth. Yeah, everybody cried. And whether or not you agreed with the judge today, that win exemplifies the kind of dedication and perseverance responsible for every dog on display this week in Tarrytown.

Many in our sport are ramping up for what should be yet another memorable experience at the Lyndhurst Castle in Tarrytown, New York– home of the 2022 Westminster Kennel Club. Spectators will be allowed to attend this year which may make it feel a bit different than it did last year. But I for one am looking forward to the opportunity to do Westminster outdoors on this magnificent property! For those unable to attend, Table Talk Live! will be there to share the fun with you! Be sure to stay tuned to our website and Facebook page during the show to join in the fun. Once again, The Canine Chronicle (www.caninechronicle.com) will be posting breed judging results on our website, so be sure to stay tuned for the latest news!

I heard legendary breeder, Frank Baylis was in an automobile accident this week. Thankfully, he came out much better than his SUV! Frank escaped with minor cuts and bruises, and I am told he is home and recovering. Nancy Battaglia had a brush with the hereafter last week. She suffered a massive heart attack and was hospitalized in serious condition. The good news is she will be back home soon. We wish her a fast and complete recovery.
