Niagara Falls mortgage agent among judges for 2018 Westminster dog show
Stephen Dainard’s work as a dog show judge has taken him around the globe, but he was especially excited when he got the call to represent Canada at a competition early next year in New York.
The 53-year-old mortgage agent from Niagara Falls, Ont., has been invited to be a panelist at the prestigious Westminster Dog Show.
“It’s the second-oldest sporting event in the U.S. behind the Kentucky Derby,” Dainard said in an interview. “(It has a) level of notoriety, and all of the glamour associated with the Big Apple.”
He will be one of four Canadian judges. Michael and Rosemary Shoreman of Phelpston, Ont., and Toronto’s Pamela Bruce will also be making their Westminster debuts.
