The day was fun and sun filled! The Water diving was amazing! First time seeing something like this. The dog races were amazing. The agility of some of these small breeds was astonishing! As a true dog lover, it was an amazing experience seeing the different breeds. Having just lost my daschund after 17 years, this day restored my soul and love of animals!
It was my first time seeing Westminster Dog Show Agility finals. Loved every minute of it! Organization, venue, seats - all were great. My son had a chance to take pictures with one of the dogs, Phoebe. We had such an amazing time!
Moving the Dog Show Agility Competition to the Billie Jean Tennis Center in Queens had many advantages. The space available for new competitions like Dock Jumping and demonstrations was excellent - lots of places to sit outside on a beautiful day. However, there was no guide or schedule of evens so things were easy to miss. The seating inside the Arthur Ashe stadium was plentiful. So many more people could be accommodated than previously. However, the numerous interruptions of the event for commercials by sponsors was very bothersome, annoying, and distracting. A word about parking facilities: horrific. No signage directing you to lots, and competition for spaces from baseball fans at nearby Citi Field. . The event itself is always very appealing - a lot of fun. But we probably won’t go back in the future. We preferred the use of NYC piers for this event. Much more accessible.
Parking was far away, vendors were unprepared for the amount of people and ran out of food; no timetables, no maps, couldn't find events, speakers at events in main stadium had no microphones so they couldn't be heard. It was a disaster all around (maybe except for the dogs)
Totally mismanaged or unmanaged. No maps to tell you where things were, no timetables for specific activities, no microphones so presenters could not be heard, ran out of food. Pretty sad event
Dogs were great. Venue not so much. USTA event staff were awful. They didn’t know where anything was (agility, obedience, shuttle location, etc). The NYC police demo on center court did not have microphones. Couldn’t hear what the police officer was saying. Disappointing. Also, the scores from the 24” agility prelims were not posted. Only two restaurants (on the outside) and a snack spot (inside) were open. Limited food choices. Long lines. Heard that the dog show will be here in the future. Hopefully, improvements will be made.
I was disappointed in how few breeds were at the Meet the Breeds section. Many of the even very few stations were vacant. There may have been only 12 or so breeds. It was lot of time and money to see an agility and diving shows and so few breeds.
Great improvement in the venue! Much more spectator space making it easier to view the competition and events. Would like to have seen more dogs at the Metet the Breed event. There was very limited options for food
I was in awe of the logistics of the Westminster Dog Show at BJK Tennis Center! We were impressed and excited seeing the Dock Dive and the Agility Challenge. Hopefully the show stay there!!
So much fun. Unique opportunity to see extremely rare breeds, and interact with them. Agility and dock diving contests lots of fun to watch. Perfect venue at the USTA center
Great time. Organized event. Ushers helpful !! The big screen helped , detail of the dogs be seen. Need more available day time tickets at the Pier
The event great but the pre paid parking ticket had a problem. The ticket said it was up to 12:30am but at the moment I parked they told me that they didn’t know why you said that because theY close at midnight and the only thing I could do was to call Ticketmaster and complain. I was worried So much during the show thinking that I wouldn’t have time to return on time. That was a disappointment and didn’t allow me to enjoy the show the way I was suppose to.
Super fun, the show was great. However my husband and I work Monday thur Friday 8am-6pm. We think the show should be hosted on the weekends, instead of Monday and Tuesday night. We had to leave early on Monday night, missed the last group.
It was a dream co.e through experience to attend this show. For a dog loving person, it is a bucket list must. Monday at the pier waa a great appetizer for Tuesday night at MSG. The only regret was section 102, which is probably the worse section for this event due to partial views.
The show was very well run and pretty much what I expected. Sitting there for four hours watching dogs run around in circles isn't exactly the most exciting thing I've done this year, but the lady friend enjoyed it. I wouldn't come back, not because it wasn't worth the money, but I just can't do that all over again. I wish it were a little shorter.
Lots of fun, security is good and efficient, wifi is amazing!
We were very excited to have picked a night of final show. The dogs were amazing and to see the entire process unfold right in front of us was a real treat. I now kbow that the live versus TV experience are so different. I wish there had been better coordination of findind seats. There was bi assistance; every seat was General Admission.
Loved the show and of course all the gorgeous dogs. BUT, we had gotten there when the doors opened so we could see the dogs being prepped for judging. The security folks at MSG were so loused up that one person sent all of us to one "tower" only to be sent back to the other "tower". This went on for a hour. We finally had to give up or we would miss the Sporting Group judging. Ran back just after the Group only to be told access to the dogs had closed. Very frustrating! (BTW, too bad so many in the audience lacked the class to let all the dogs be appreciated during BIS judging. They started a loud chant for "Daniel!" while the other Groups' winners were being judged. Bad form, folks!!
it was my son's first time there and we both enjoyed it. We were able to see some of the dogs up close which was awesome.I was disappointed with the results, but that happens.
The highlight of my year! It's worth it just to go for the pre-show meet & greet!
