More than 100 Canadian dogs compete this week at the venerable Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York, where carefully groomed pooches and pedigree canines will strut their stuff in a bid to be named best in show. “Westminster is sort of the Olympics of dog shows, right?”The judging panels, too, feature a healthy Canuck contingent, with Vancouver native Betty-Anne Stenmark presiding over the all-important finale. Stenmark, who moved to California in 1975 after meeting her husband at a dog show in Michigan, will be the fourth Canadian to judge the category, and the second Canadian woman. “Very often, Canadian dogs do very well. The Canadian breeders in a lot of breeds are very strong,” he said.
