狗狗怎样能参加美国西敏侍比赛吗？
西敏寺犬展（Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show）是美国历史最悠久最有影响力的狗展之一，被俗称为“美国最大型的狗展”或“小狗春晚”。 每年的2月底到3月初举行，历时4天。地点位于纽约市曼哈顿的Madison Square Garden麦迪逊广场花园举办。这个比赛的特别之处在于所有的参赛犬只都是经过挑选的品种中最优者，这些狗狗大多在赛前接受了严格训练，所以比赛中常常能看到狗狗做出许多高难度的动作以博得评判青睐。而且裁判们除了评出冠军之外也会为每项分别评出一、二、三名。 这个比赛有80多年的历史了，今年已经是第129届了~ 我从19世纪末就开始看这个小狗展了TAT....虽然那时候我还没出生.....
西敏寺犬展每年都吸引世界各地超过50万以上的观众到场观赏，更有数万人通过电视转播观看这场盛事。它已成为全世界宠物迷的最爱，以及最具公信力的犬展之一！ 西敏寺犬展分为五个科目进行评比，每个科目都有不同的主题及评分标准：
1) Non-Sporting Group – These dogs are judged on their temperament， structure and gait along with other criteria to determine which is the best in its class. (非竞技类犬种，包括斗牛犬、梗类和细犬等)
2) Herding Groups (Herding Spaniels & Cattle Dogs / Sheepdogs)——Herding breeds work together as a team， so one of the judge's biggest concerns will be how well each dog works with his partner. The judging is based on movement and style rather than speed or precision. Judges also take into account the ability for the working dog to handle itself around people， sheep/cattle etc without being overly nervous or uncooperative. (牧牛犬和牧羊犬)
3) Sporting Groups – This section includes hounds that chase down game and scent-hunting dogs like the Basenji and Shar Pei. There are several different classes within this group depending upon the breed’s primary purpose：trail hunting， retrieving， pointing and coyote/streamers and others. All are judged on type and function. (运动类犬种，猎犬和寻回犬)
4) Terrier Groups — These dogs have short legs and strong jaws that help them dig through soil to get at vermin. Their judges look beyond surface appearance——such as color——and seek out individual traits such as body shape， bone structure， expression and activity level among many more things， because they all contribute towards an overall impression of what makes up a terrier’s personality. (猎狐梗和其他小体型猎犬)
5) Toy Group— Smaller still but not always fluffy， these little guys can do big things！ And while their size may dictate certain limits on what they could hunt， they make great companions due largely to their high energy levels and playfulness. They come in every size from teacup to miniature to tiny toy， all judged by
