Dog Show Shake-Up: Revenge of the Mutts!

By NICOLE WEISENSEE EGAN

Move Over, Purebreds. For the First Time, Mixed Breeds Can Compete at the Westminster Kennel Club

Roo is a Husky mix with "behavioral issues" in her past, says Stacey Campbell, who found the dog in San Francisco. Icey, adopted from a Virginia kill shelter, might be part Dalmatian, maybe some terrier. "Who knows?" says owner Sara Beth Pinson. Even without pedigrees, Roo and Icey - along with 13 other All Americans, as mixed breeds are called at the 137-year-old Westminster Kennel Club - are now show dogs. On Feb. 8 they'll go up against 210 purebreds in agility trials: jumping and weaving through timed obstacle courses. While mutts can't win Best in Breed, they are a welcome addition. "We're thrilled," says WKC cohost David Frei. "It brings us a whole new sense of dogs and their bonds with their handlers."
