After Santa makes his cameo, and before the Macy’s parade is rebroadcast at 2 pm/1c, settle in as canine breeds of all varieties — including a new entry, the Danish-Swedish Farmdog — strut their stuff at the Philly Expo Center when the Kennel Club of Philadelphia presents its annual showcase of top dogs competing for Best in Show. John O’Hurley returns as host with analysis from David Frei and cuddly behind-the-scenes reports from Mary Carillo. Two hours never flew by so quickly.
