The minute you open this book you enter a world of pedigree, class, and breeding infused by individuals who are the model of devotion and determination. In the midst of a country unconnected and unrefined, blossomed one of the most eloquent and elite groups in history, and it is still flourishing today. This book examines the lives of the founders of the Westminster Kennel Club, founded in 1877, and praises their work and the positive influence they've had on the sport. Against all odds, these great men kept politics and personal whim from tainting the sport or causing the club to stray from its objective. Stifel follows the progression of the dog show, outlining the influences that war, depression, cultural changes, and change in management has had on the shows, as well as the dogs. Hundreds of amazing photographs and informative captions make this book both fun and enriching to flip through, but it is so much more: The true connoisseur will appreciate the enlightening information, be it cultural, or canine, which lies between these captivating pictures.
