Another Thanksgiving tradition: The National Dog Show on NBC

Right after this morning's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, NBC will air the ever-popular "National Dog Show Presented by Purina."

This is the 10th anniversary of the National Dog Show, which begins at noon.

Six new American Kennel Club-sanctioned breeds will be announced and a 2011 champion dog will be crowned out of a crowd of 170 breeds.  The actual competition, put on by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, took place this past Saturday.

The six new breeds being introduced are The Entlebucher Mountain Dog, Norwegian Lundehund, Xoloitzcuintli, American English Coonhound (pictured here), Cesky Terrier and Finnish Lapphund.

The two-hour show is hosted by John O'Hurley ("Seinfeld," "Dancing with the Stars") along with dog authority David Frei.
