NEW YORK – His name is Alchemy — a sleek Irish red and white setter, high-energy but gentle.

Next week, he'll represent one of three new breeds making their debut at the Westminster Kennel Club's world-class dog show alongside the perennial Labrador retriever — just named America's top dog for the 19th consecutive year.

Alchemy, a silky-coated canine from New Jersey, will also step outside Madison Square Garden on Tuesday to ring the closing bell at the Nasdaq stock exchange. That moment will be beamed live to a Times Square giant screen. Schedule of events.
