[2019 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show] Your TV/Online Viewing Guide! [VIDEO]
As part of Bleeding Cool's continued mission to plant our flag on every square inceof the pop culture universe — and because we have a righteously unwavering love for dogs — we proudly present our coverage of the 143rd Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. This year's coverage includes our live-blog of the final 2019 WKC Dog Show Group rounds (Sporting, Working and Terrier Groups) and this year's "Best in Show" on Tuesday, February 12th, from 7 p.m. – 11 p.m.-ish EST; with the competition airing once again on Fox Sports 1 (FS1).
But until then, we're going to get you up-to-speed on everything and anything you need to know about the canine competition, from where to watch and how the show works to knowing about the various breeds – heck, you might even get a chance to meet some of our "Bests in Show."
Our live-blog Going to the Dogs II will cover the final night of competition from New York City's Madison Square Garden, including the all-important "Best in Show" finale. We'll be offering some funny and irreverent takes on the internationally-renowned canine "smackdown" from the perspective of someone whose "broad knowledge base" on dogs extends to never feeding them chocolate, knowing that a proper mix of wet and dry food is key, and that a tennis ball is to a dog what a large cardboard box is to an eight-year-old.
