If you can't afford a trip to the Westminster Kennel Club show in New York City and just get so geeked out watching it on TV, then you should drive over to the South Florida Fairgrounds in West Palm Beach for the Palm Beach All-Breed Dog Show.  Enjoy 2 days featuring over 1000 dogs!  Bring along your pup too (must be over 6 months old) to try their skills on the same course that the pros use.  Make sure your shots are up to date or your pup won't be allowed to participate.
