Watching the National Dog Show - New Web Features, Games and More

Nov 23rd 2010

Watching the National Dog Show presented by Purina every Thanksgiving on NBC has become a holiday tradition for many. This year, what's new about the show is that TV won't be the only way to experience it.

More to Do on the Web
The show's official site at NBC Sports will be "super enhanced" with extensive video extras. All 160-plus Best of Breed winners will be featured, along with expert commentary from veteran announcer Wayne Ferguson, President of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, which hosts the NDS. (Scroll down on the main NDS page to find the group or dog you'd like to watch.)

You can get an idea of what goes on behind the scenes at the NDS with this great gallery or check out pictures of all the dogs in the ring as they strut their stuff. You can even enter your pup in the Petcentric Dog Show, which has fun categories like Best Troublemaker or Best John O'Hurley Look-alike.

Watch Video of the Show
Hulu will offer free streaming of the entire NBC broadcast beginning at 2 p.m. EST on Thanksgiving Day. (NBC will broadcast the dog show, as it always does, immediately following the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, beginning at noon in all time zones.)
