Ringside photos from the Merrimack Valley Kennel Club dog show, which was held on January 3–4, 2026, at the Eastern States Exposition Grounds in West Springfield, Massachusetts.
From the club:
“Saturday was our 99th show and Sunday was our 100th. All these pictures commemorate our 100th show – with specially designed ribbons for Best in Show & Best in Owner Handler. Our Best in Show was a Newfoundland both days. We had a special banner made and had a cupcake party along with many extra awards such as reduced entry fees and gift certificates.”
