American Kennel Club's Gina DiNardo and Royal Canin's Jason Taylor discuss the upcoming dog show that will air on New Year's Day on Animal Planet.
A different breed has won in each of the last several years at the AKC show, and DiNardo weighs in on what the "It Factor" is, in order to win "Best in Show." She says that in addition to the physical tests in agility, obedience, and dock-diving, much of it comes down to the personal connection dogs are able to make with the judges.
