COME JOIN THE PARTY


Working Group 2013 Westminster Kennel Club Show

Welcome to our Garden Party. Tune your TV to CNBC Network and join us for dogdom's ultimate armchair quarterbacking. Please say hello to your host when you come in and then feel free to mingle. It's like any other open house.  We always have a few surprise guests drop in.

There are very few rules. Feel free to cheer for your favorites and make fun of the spectators. Just please, this is a PG 13 room. We all appreciate humor, just keep it clean and don't be too cruel (a little teasing is OK). 
To participate just log in (you can be anonymous) & leave a comment and then refresh your screen frequently to view the latest comments.  The most important rule is HAVE FUN, it's just a dog show and you are among friends.

    1. Sadly, I think CNBC and USA contracts don't allow live streams during the evening broadcasts. We will try to give you as much of a play by paly as we can. ;-)
