I come from a family of professional dog-showers, one step above carnies, but I didn't want to join the family business.
We heard about people who went backstage at dog shows with scissors and cut parts of a poodle's hair off to sabotage the dog.
There is no country that may … compare with ours in number, excellency, and diversity of dogs.
It's the most prestigious dog show in the country. We love dogs, and we're having a blast out here.

The winner of the Westminster Dog Show gets to drink champagne - out of the toilet.

My mom took me to a dog show and I won!!
Most of all, I am struck by an irony central to the lot of a purebred dog: As it attains the hallmarks of its breed, it seems to simultaneously relinquish its basic dogginess, until it is less a dog than a Pomeranian, Collie or Bloodhound.
A Republican in my state of Arkansas feels about as out of place as Michael Vick at the West Minister dog show.
Some days I feel like I'm only the fire hydrant to Westminster dog show.
