Westchester Kennel Club History
Research indicates that the first show the Westchester Kennel Club held was at Gedney Farms in 1906 on the estate of its president, Howard Willetts. There were 583 dogs entered, and the Best in Show winner was Winthrop Rutherford's Smooth Fox Terrier bitch, Champion Warren Remedy. Since then, we have held ninety-two shows as of 2008 with many over having over 3000 dogs entered at times. Since 1973, our permanent show site has been Lyndhurst in Tarrytown, New York, a National Trust Historic site.
