Question: What Colorado city shares its name with a world-famous dog show?

Answer: Though the Westminster Kennel Club’s dog show happens to share a name with the Denver-area city, the organization and its prestigious annual event—sometimes called the Super Bowl of dog shows—take their name from Manhattan’s Westminster Hotel, a frequent gathering place of sporting gentlemen, hunters, and dog enthusiasts in the 1870s.
