CANDID CAMERA SIDELIGHTS OF WESTMINSTER DOG SHOW
NEW YORK CITY - On Feb 10, 11, and 12 thousands of dog lovers jammed into Madison Square Garden to witness the sixty-first annual exhibition of the Westminster Kennel Club. The 3,144 dogs entered, representing 96 breeds from all parts of the world set a record. The Wide World Service has already brought you general views of the show and its champions. In this set of pictures, made by a staff photographer working with a candid camera, Wide World now brings you some of the scenes visitors saw in the judging ring and at the benches of the blue ribbon event of the canine world.
A dignified Englishman takes his judging seriously, getting down on his hands and knees to evaluate a Dachshund, one of the most popular breeds in the show.
