From left: Jake, Hope and Windy will be cheering for the dachshunds and schnauzers.

In addition to today being Valentine’s Day, it is the start of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, or Westminster as we call it around our house.

Six new breeds will be welcomed this year. We love to see all the different breeds, but we cheer for all the dachshunds – long, short or wired-haired, standard and mini, and the schnauzers – giant, standard and mini.

More information than you may care to know may be found at http://www.westminsterkennelclub.org/

Westminster will begin at 8 p.m. today on USA Network.
