Since its first show in New York, the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is held yearly in the same state. It is considered the second-longest competition held continuously after the first-placer, the Kentucky Derby that started way back in 1875. IT started as a dog show meant for Setters and Pointers which were gun dogs.

The group who initiated the show was a group of hunters who have top gun dogs as companions. They gather regularly at the Westminister Hotel in Manhattan. In order to hold the famous dog show, they created the Westminister Kennel Club. The prices included pearl handled pistols used by terriermen and hunters who were the handlers of the top gun dogs.

When the show was first announced, it proved to be popular as more than 1,200 dogs were listed. The show was originally scheduled for three days, but was extended for another day as the number was overwhelming. The Westminister Kennel Club Dog Show donated all the proceedings they got during the fourth and final day to the ASPCA. These were intended for the creation of homes for homeless and disabled dogs.
