NEW YORK (AP) - Many people say the economy has gone to the dogs
and it's definitely taking a bite out of America's No. 1 dog show.
The Westminster Kennel Club event did not fill up its usual
allotment of 2,500 entries in a single day, as usual. There were
2,486, at $75 per dog, going into the today's start of judging.
Tickets, from $40 to $155 for a single day, are also moving a
bit more slowly. Last February, Madison Square Garden was packed
when a precocious beagle called Uno was picked as best in show.
It's a trend that's been felt by sports all over, even the Super
Bowl and recent college football bowl games.
The winner of Best in Show will be decided tomorrow.
