The countdown is on as the Westminster Dog Show is once again happening in our backyard!

The show kicks off Saturday, June 18 at the Lyndhurst Estate in Tarrytown.

The big change is that you can go to the show and see the animals in action this year.

Starting tonight on the News at 10, we're giving you a sneak peek and tell what you need to know if you want to attend.

We'll also have a look at how Tarrytown is getting ready for the competition to begin.

And before the judges crown best in show, we want to see your TOP DOG.
