Don't tell my golden Retrievers, Phoebe and Sam, but the odds of them winning Westminster are pretty slim. In fact, according to a Las Vegas odds maker, Johnny Avello, director of race and sports book operations at the Wynn Las Vegas, it is about 60-1. His pick: the Pekingese, at 6-1.
According to Vetstreet, the other top breeds with favorable odds are: Cocker Spaniel, Wirehaired Fox Terrier (Sabina will be very happy!), Affenpinscher, Smooth Coated Fox Terrier, Kuvasz and Whippet.
Be forewarned however, Avello did not pick last year's winner, Hickory, a Scottish Deerhound.
So I guess you will have to watch and see for yourself how accurate he is. Best in Show will be crowned tonight, still in time for Valentine's Day, on the USA network, around 11:00 PM.
