NEW YORK (AP) — The 148th Westminster Kennel Club dog show is underway. Monday marked the start of the traditional judging that leads to the best in show prize, to be awarded Tuesday night at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York. Semifinals began Monday night, with an Afghan hound, a shih tzu, a miniature poodle and a German shepherd tapped to advance to the finals. Three more finalists will be chosen Tuesday night before all seven vie for best in show. The 148th Westminster show kicked off Saturday with an agility competition. It was won by a mixed-breed dog for the first time since Westminster added the event in 2014.
