Treeing Walkers, Russell terriers set for dog show
Posted: Jan 28, 2013 1:03 PM by Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - America's top dog show is ready to welcome two new breeds this year.
Two weeks before the start of the Westminster Kennel Club show at Madison Square Garden, a pair of treeing Walker coonhounds and several Russell terriers were introduced Monday at a hotel across from the arena.
There will be 187 different breeds and varieties represented at the 137th Westminster event.
The treeing Walker coonhound looks like a large beagle. It gets its name for the way it chases raccoons up trees.
The Russell terrier is often referred to as a Jack Russell terrier.
More than 2,700 dogs will compete starting Feb. 11 for the title of best in show.
