Westminster

Odin had the privilege of getting to compete in the 138th annual Westminster Kennel Club dog show this past week in New York for the very first time. He was shown by his handler Terri Erickson who has been campaigning him all year long in the show ring.

Westminster for those not familiar with dog shows is one of the last benched shows in the county which means that after the dogs show in the ring they spend the rest of the show day benched so that the public can see them. Odin (and Ben) enjoyed hamming it up for the public and everyone who wanted to pet and take pictures of him throughout the day. Odin also enjoyed all the treats he was feed to keep him a happy boy.

While we didn't come home with ribbons the adventure and being a part of this experience was worth every minute and hopefully we'll be lucky enough to make it back in the future before Odin retires from showing.
