In this Christopher Guest mockumentary, a variety of colorful characters pack up their pooches and travel to compete in a prestigious national dog show. Interviews reveal the neuroses, triumphs, and personal tragedies of both participants and sponsors of the dog show as they prepare for the rush of competition. Wacky couple Gerry and Cookie Fleck (Eugene Levy and Catherine O’Hara) confront infidelity and money issues; yuppie socialites Meg and Hamilton Swan (Parker Posey and Michael Hitchcock) are locked in a perpetual ego clash; gay couple Stefan (Michael McKean) and Scott (John Michael Higgins) revel in their own fabulousness; and Harlan Pepper (Guest) just enjoys playing ventriloquist with his bloodhound. As the end of competition nears, who will claim the honor of Best in Show?
