Televised 136th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show starts Monday

Mark your calendars dog lovers! The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is coming up next week, Monday and Tuesday to be precise.

2000 dogs ( and their anxious companaions), 185 breeds will all contend for the 2012 honors of Best of Breed and Best in Show. It promises to be a fun view for any dog lover.

USA Network and CNBC will be home to The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show for the 30th consecutive year. USA Network and CNBC air exclusive live coverage from Madison Square Garden on Monday, February 13, and USA Network airs exclusive live coverage on Tuesday, February 14. 

SpoilerAlert to my local (West Coast) readers, the shows will be seen on the West Coast on a delayed broadcast schedule. That means results will be posted on the internet and social media BEFORE you have a chance to watch.  Turn off your iPads if you don’t want to know the results before you can enjoy watching the presentation. Check local listings for  the broastcast time in your area.
