Westminster Kennel Club

How the WKC got its name:

1876 (or earlier) - A group of sporting gentlemen meet regularly in the bar of a Manhattan hotel to trade stories about their shooting accomplishments and the talents of their dogs. Eventually they form a club and name it after their favorite hotel: The Westminster Breeding Association.

Uncle Sam

N.Y. Times article from 1904 with a photo of "Uncle Sam." Not sure if it's the same dog, but it's a St. Bernard

Wonderful

Everything about this picture is perfect.

Beautiful ghost dogs.
