You don't need to be a dog lover to appreciate all of the meticulous grooming and effort that goes into making these dogs at the Westminster Best of Breed look absolutely divine.
The perfectly groomed pooches of all shapes and sizes came out to show off their beauty and poise for spectator and judges alike. The crowning winner of the 137th Westminster Best of Breed show was a small black affenpinscher named Banana Joe who beat out over 2,700 other pups vying for the coveted title. For those who may not have been there to see all of the glory in person, New York Times photographer Fred R. Conrad has got you covered as he took pictures of all the lovely dogs behind a white backdrop to really highlight all of their shiny and well-groomed coats.
