Yesterday was the first day of the Westminster Kennel Club's 133rd Annual Dog Show (yes, there was some protest). The terrier, hound, non-sporting and herding groups were seen: The top terrier was a Scottish terrier named Ch Roundtown Mercedes Of Maryscot, top hound was a Scottish deerhound named Ch Gayleward's Tiger Woods, the top non-sporting dog was a standard poodle named Ch Randenn Tristar Affirmation and the top herding dog was a puli named Ch Cordmaker Field Of Dreams (videos here).

Today is the judging for the sporting, working and toy groups—plus Best in Show! You can tune into USA Network starting at 8 p.m. for live coverage.
