I had no expectations, but this dog show exceeded any expectation! Beautiful dogs, very nice people, and MSG looked great. There were many helpful staff and comfortable surroundings and we had a GREAT time! Next year, plan to attend both days of the show.

I have waited 30+ years to go to Ny city and attend this dog show. It was everything i could have wished for! Meeting the handler/trainers and wishing them and their dog the very best of luck, was the greatest dog event i have ever attended.

Anyone who loves the furkids should attend, even if a pocket dog wins year after year...

First time at evening show, would attend again. The excitement of being at the show, compared to watching on TV was fantastic, no comparison. Every seat could see the finals to the dog show!

It was my 7th time attending this event, and as usual it was fabulous ! It was fantastic that this breed ( the Affenpinscher ) won Best in Show for the 1st time. I was pleased the Best in Show judge thought " out of the box " in choosing the winner. I hope next year Swagger, the old English Sheepdog competes, and wins the title of Best in Show. He was my favorite !

Westminster is your chance to see some ofthe rarer more exotic giant breeds. While the akc does not recognize all of the worlds strange breeds it does recognize those most close to our heart. It was a great chance to meet the breeds and handlers up close and personal I mean how often do you walk by a 110 lbs akita and it leans in to lick your face. A wonderful experience over all

We've been attending Westminster Dog Show since 2004 and have enjoyed it immensely. Even though there were a lot of glitches to be ironed out by the WKC, we still enjoy it and will probably continue to attend. I just hope these things can be addressed and corrected before next year's event takes place.
1) We were never informed that the day's activities were moved to Piers 92 and 94! A friend of ours casually mentioned the move, and we checked into it via Google. Imagine our surprise to learn the night before we were leaving for NY that we would be going to the wrong place!
2) In previous years, the benching area and gift tables were all included in the price. We were able to check our suitcases (we've been staying overnight), and stay the whole day and night in one venue. This was convenient because we met our friends for dinner and didn't have to drag suitcases with us. We took a complimentary shuttle from the pier to MSG, but then couldn't get in for approximately two hours. We had a lot in our suitcases, and they were heavy. Unfortunately, we had to take the suitcases with us to meet our friends at a very crowded restaurant. We asked if we could just check our suitcases at the Garden, but they said no! Then when we returned, we had to open up the suitcases when we entered MSG. For this privilege, we were charged an extra $25 per person (which we didn't know about ahead of time).
3) When we watched the competition during the day, we were able to go into our seats. There were very few seats during competitions, or anywhere for that matter. One had to either stand most of the day, or opt for a space on the floor! Considering Westminster Dog Show as the premier dog event in the nation, sitting on the floor was tacky and unprofessional!
4) On a positive note, the benching area was certainly larger and better for all concerned, including the animals. The free shuttle to MSG was a welcome perk as well.
Since we live far and take a bus into New York, it is not feasible or worthwhile for us to just attend the show at night. I, personally, think arrangements were very disorganized and, as I previously said, glitches have to be worked out in order to make this move a success. We love the dog show and would like to continue attending, but it was very difficult the way it was handled. I hope something will change for the dog show next year . . . for the better!

Besides the Best in Show judge being a cat lover from Cali, the event was amazing. Never thought I'd ever go to this but it was a blast. There was hooting and hollering for your favorite dog, beers, the crowd definitely gets into it and even started the 'Wave'. It's just fun.

The afternoon judging was held at a different location this year - Piers 92 and 94. Imagine my surprise of learning this THE DAY OF THE EVENT! There was no alert on the ticketmaster site - it was listed in small print. After years and years of being held in the garden, this is all the notification the powers that be felt was warrented?! Then, to add insult to injury, the MSG usher knew nothing of the reasoning for said change, or of the fact that there were free shuttle buses to take us there! He told us to jump in a cab.
At the piers itself, no seating!!!! We were forced to walk around in a cold venue, with all our winter gear!!!! Horrible, horrible experience!!!! If it is the same next year, I will no longer be going....

I thought this show was very cute. The best part for me is backstage seeing the dogs up close. It is not something i would do every year, but glad it was on my buckey list.

I'd never been to Madison Square Garden and had always watched the show on tv but nothing, nothing compares with being there. Brought my opera glasses with me in case my seats were too far for me to enjoy the dogs, but needn't have been concerned. The seats were great---not too far and not too close. The monitors which were placed in front of every two seats weren't even necessary for me to enjoy the view. The folks sitting around my area were all friendly and we exchanged comments now and again making for a warm comfortable atmosphere.
