Here Are Some Of
The Breeds You
By MRS. LARRY POWELL
The 1953 dog show held by the
Back Mountain Kennel Club at the
Kingston Armory drew an entry of
398 dogs, coming mainly from the
eastern states, but going south to
Florida, west to Minnesota and
north to Canada for many of its
entries.
Boxers and Cocker Spaniels led
the entries with ‘34 each, followed
closely by German Shepherds with
23, English Cockers with 22 and
Great Danes with 21.
The committee expects the 1954
show on October 31 to be the most
successful yet sponsored by - the
club.
The task of appraising this large
group of pure-bred dogs presents
quite a problem and the judging

will continue throughout the day.

which you will probably see when
