ENTRIES FOR the 127th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show opened at 8am on Friday December 6 and closed less than one hour later when the club’s limit of 2500 entries was reached.

The show, recognised by authorities as the most prestigious of America’s dog shows and second only to the Kentucky Derby in terms of sporting longevity, is scheduled to take place on February 10 and 11 2003 at Madison Square Garden.
