WKC STREAMING VIDEO: Live and complete in 2013

You want it all? You want it live? Westminster has it for you in 2013.

The 137th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show will produce live coverage via streaming video on its website of all of the breed judging in each of the 187 breeds and varieties. Since 2005, breed judging highlights have been carried on the website on streaming video on a delayed basis, but this year, for the first time, this important part of the show will be covered live and in its entirety with real-time posting on www.westminsterkennelclub.org.

Shortly after its live presentation, that streaming video will then be permanently available for viewing on the website for those who might not have had the opportunity to view it live or for those who just want to see their favorite breeds in competition once again.

More than a million visitors a year have logged on to the Westminster website every year since 2005 during the dog show to view taped breed judging highlights of their favorite breeds, delayed by about two hours from the live competition.

Watch the website for details (www.westminsterkennelclub.org).
