Who knew? For months there were so many questions surrounding the move of the 147th Westminster Kennel Club annual dog show to the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing, New York. “Flushing, New York? Where in the world is that,” so many inquired. Well, sitting right near LaGuardia Airport, and Citi Field–home of the New York Mets baseball team in the boro of Queens–the center is in a highly trafficked area where commuters travel through to get to and from Manhattan to the West and Long Island to the East.

Did you know…virtually everyone in the dog sport, even those famous ones in the history books for one reason or another, started exactly where you started. Somewhere, somehow, they wanted a purebred dog and sought to find one. Most didn’t have a show dog in mind at first, and most likely their first purebred dog didn’t cut it as a show dog. Those of us that dipped a toe in the pond were quick to find that out. There were big fish in ‘Dem Der Waters’…and some of them looked like sharks with really, really sharp teeth to those of us in the uncharted waters we waded into.
