Standing at attention, or “stacked,” as they say in the dog show world, Eira is the picture of wire fox terrier perfection. A dense, white coat falls off her jaws. She has alert eyes, a very still tail and plenty of ribbons to prove her pedigree. And she’s primed for America’s most prestigious pooch parade, the 136th Westminster Kennel Club event, starting Monday at New York’s Madison Square Garden. More than 2,000 of dogdom’s finest will come in 185 breeds and varieties, coming from as far as Russia and China. Terriers have often ruled the show, with wire foxes winning a record 13 times.
