LIVE: Follow updated results, highlights from 2023 Westminster Dog Show
With the 149th Kentucky Derby now in the books, the Westminster Dog Show, which has withstood economic downturns like the Great Depression, wartimes and pandemics, is set for its 147th edition.
For only the third time in its history, it will be held at a different venue. The event's traditional home has always been Madison Square Garden, through its various moves, renovations and upgrades.
The show was moved to Lyndhurst Mansion outside of Tarrytown, N.Y., in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, and this year, it will take place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, home of US Open tennis.
