Westminster show dogs have some unusual food faves
NEW YORK — Benjamin is a grand champion English toy spaniel, but he’s not a champ at chow. The otherwise undemanding dog tends to balk at any food after a couple of meals.
The one treat he never refuses? Sauerkraut — and hold the hot dog.
Emmy the harrier is crazy for ice cubes. Dick the Chinese crested isn’t excited by any treat except bits of raw steak (usually ribeye). Stella, an old English sheepdog, savors steamed green beans. Rajah the borzoi enjoys chicken liver sautéed in butter as post-dog-show reward.
And to get Mikka the bergamasco to eat, consider “Satan balls.”
