Hi Pet People!

I just got some inside “scoop” from the dog stylist to the stars, Jorge Bendersky about the 136th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show that will be held at Madison Square Garden on February 13th and 14th.

You may have seen him on Animal Planet’s reality show, “The Groomer Has It”, or as a judge on TLC’s Extreme Poodles and as the new Grooming expert on Animal Planet’s Dogs 101. His clients include the dogs of A-list actors, models to popular recording artists. Jorge also believes in giving back in a very big way to animal welfare causes. He takes his talents to give back to pets that need extra care and love. He also hosts pet care workshops in New York City’s inner-city neighborhoods an conducts seminars to help other groomers carry on this mission.

I got a few minutes to catch up with Jorge….here is my quick Q&A with him.

Q: What are some of the highlights of Westminster for you?

New York is the fashion capital of the world, so nothing is done half way, “The Lady always shine” and anybody under her lights look better. Including the dog world. Not only you get to see some of the best dogs on earth, but discover new breeds, and why not, have the opportunity not only to admire the glamour, but to have a quick laugh watching some “extravagant” Doguie Stage Moms on full force. Is like watching the cast of the Jersey Shore walk into the Met Ball, really Snookie?

Q: What is new about this year’s event?

The competition at the garden is serious business and will get a little more interesting in its 136th year, as the WKC is making sure the competition isn’t predictable by introducing six new competing breeds, in a variety of shapes, sizes, and show groups. From fluffy, like the Finnish Lapphund, a reindeer herding dog, or hairless, like the Xoloitzcuintli, the national breed of Mexico, this change shows dedication to preserving the purity of recognized breeds.

Q: How does this event help animal welfare groups?
