The Westminster Kennel Club, established in 1877, is one of the most prestigious and well-known dog show organizations in the United States. Renowned for hosting the annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, it is the second-longest continuously held sporting event in the U.S., second only to the Kentucky Derby. The event, held in New York City, is a highly anticipated showcase of canine excellence, featuring a variety of breeds competing in various categories.
