If you are attending Westminster and are looking for dog related events to attend while in the New York City area. You can visit the Westminster website and visit the Events Calendar. You can also check out: infodog.com and gsadogshows.org .
My favorite feature of the Westminster Kennel Cub website is the Historical Highlights page. Here is how it all began:
It all began circa 1876 with a group of sporting gentlemen who met regularly in the bar of a Manhattan
hotel to trade stories about their shooting accomplishments and the
talents of their dogs. Eventually they form a club and name it after
their favorite hotel: The Westminster Breeding Association. Early on,
the club owns a kennel and raises Pointers for hunting and field
trials.
Enjoy the Show!!
