From Past to Present: National Dog Show Winners

Thanksgiving is known as being a time of tradition. Many people tune into the Macy's parade in the morning, have family and friends gather to feast in the afternoon and tune in throughout the day to catch a little football. With this said, though, perhaps no new tradition is growing faster and becoming more popular than the airing of the National Dog Show Presented by Purina, a dog show which serves as a sort of prelude to both the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship and the crown jewel of dog shows, the Westminster Kennel Club show.

In lieu of the upcoming 2012 National Dog Show, which airs Thursday right after the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, we've put together some photos of the past winners. Click through and check out past winners, and tune in to see who will take home this year's top prize!
