If you ve been here before or if you are with us for the first time we are delighted to present the Group and Best In Show competition to you in the evenings from Madison Square Garden once again where we have been almost exclusively since 1877. But as you know by now this year we have moved the daytime portion of our judging - the breed judging - a few blocks to the north to Piers 92 94 here in New York City. This move allows us to return to the true benching of our dogs something that makes us a bit unique in the dog show world. Even in the vast expanse of more than 200 000 square feet of exhibition space you will now be able to easily find particular dogs owners and handlers and visit with them up close and personal. The benching area is the heart and soul of Westminster the chance to learn about the breeds and about responsible ownership from people who have devoted their lives to their dogs in the show rings and in their homes. The move to the Piers also allows us to expand our entry to more than 2 700 dogs the largest entry in 15 years. This makes the show more .
