If you’re a fan of all things canine, you may have tuned in to the annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show<\/a>, which marked its 150th year in 2026. And if so, you probably know that a four-year-old Doberman pinscher called Penny\u2014full name, “GCHP CH ConnQuest Best of Both Worlds”\u2014won the top honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But did you know that your alma mater is the show’s official veterinary provider?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CVM has served in the role since 2019; it’s a collaboration by its Riney Canine Health Center<\/a>,\u00a0Cornell University Hospital for Animals<\/a>, and\u00a0Cornell University Veterinary Specialists<\/a>. (The first two are based in Ithaca and the latter in Stamford, CT.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, the event\u2014which includes competitions not just in conformation but agility and more\u2014was held at Manhattan’s Javitz Convention Center in early February. And as in past years, CVM brought a photographer, who snapped hundreds of images throughout the long weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hard part for us dog lovers here at Cornellians<\/em>? Picking just a couple of dozen to share with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
