PLEASE NOTE: ONLY pre-registered dog show entrants will be allowed into Old Westbury Gardens. Visitors are NOT permitted to bring their dogs to the Gardens this weekend.
Come get up close and personal with American Kennel Club-recognized Sporting and Working breeds as they compete in two Working Group and two Sporting Group championship dog shows.
The Big Apple Sporting Society will feature AKC Sporting breeds, originally bred to help hunt game birds and be our companions. Sporting breeds like Brittanys, Cocker Spaniels, Pointers, Golden and Labrador Retrievers, Vizslas, and Weimaraners will compete for Best in Group.
The Big Apple Working Group Club hosts AKC Working breeds, bred to assist with various jobs and provide protection. Service, security, support—Working Dogs do it all!
Working breeds like Boxers, Doberman Pinschers, Great Danes, Portuguese Water Dogs, Samoyeds, and Huskies will compete for First Prize/Best in the Working Group.
Both the morning and afternoon shows will offer Owner-Handled Group competitions—who better to ask what a breed is like than its owner/handler? This show will offer a more relaxed atmosphere than the weekend events:
The Suffolk County Kennel Club hosts two All-Breed shows and three FSS Open Shows on Saturday, Sept. 28th. The Westbury Kennel Association hosts two All-Breed Shows on Sunday, Sept. 29th, with three FSS Open Shows and a Scentwork Trial offered by SCKC.
