A range of people and dog breeds -- including seven new ones -- came together at the 140th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show this weekend. The competition was stiff.
The two-day show in New York City featured contests from agility to cosmetic judging. The most prestigious award, Best in Show, will be announced on Tuesday night; last year, a beagle named Miss P defied the odds to win the title.
While the judges see lots of fluff, frills and glamour, a fair amount of preparation (and weirdness) takes place behind the curtain, for both pooches and trainers. Just take a look below.
