She loves snow, outdoor dining and head pets. She's also competing at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on Tuesday.
More than 2,500 of the world’s most talented and beautiful purebred dogs will descend on Midtown to compete for the title of Best in Show at the 149th annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, which starts on Saturday.
While Schmutzie's place in the purebred pantheon may be beyond her comprehension, she has been destined for the stage since birth.Schmutzie was born Aug. 14, 2020, in Granville, New York, about a 90-minute drive north of Albany. Her breeders, Linda and Larry Carman, quickly recognized that this pandemic puppy was genetically blessed – essentially a textbook representation of her breed, as defined by the American Kennel Club, with her bright coat, almond-shaped eyes and perpetual smile.
They connected him with Debbie Studwell, a second-generation dog trainer in Bethel, Pennsylvania. Matloob now pays Studwell to show Schmutzie, who also now has her ownUnder Studwell’s coaching, Schmutzie has accrued more ribbons than Matloob can count. And that’s not just to say she has good genetics. A great show dog “also has to have the attitude to do it, the oomph to go. They can't just walk around, they have to trot, they have to put their ears up,” Studwell said.
“She likes it so much I started taking her to some agility classes” outside of the day care, Matloob said.
