Expanded Description:
Dog shows started as a side feature of mid-1800s English livestock shows.
Today, they have grown into a worldwide passion. More than 7 million television
viewers have avidly watched the live finals of the Westminster Kennel
Club dog show. In the United States alone, there are more than 3,700 dog
shows each year with more than one million and a half dogs entered, a number with a tenfold increase since 1960. Dog show fever is even stronger in
many countries outside the United States.
