***** Morris & Essex *****
Somerset, NJ

A little History for those of you that have never heard or attended:

? Historic & Prestigious ? Founded in 1927 by Mrs. Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge, it quickly became one of the most celebrated dog shows in America.

? Held Once Every 5 Years ? Unlike most shows, M&E is staged only once every five years.

? Massive Scale ? Known for drawing thousands of dogs and exhibitors from around the world, with top-tier competition across nearly every breed.

? Classic Garden Party Atmosphere ? Exhibitors and spectators wear vintage-style attire (hats, dresses, suits), giving it a 1930s?40s throwback elegance.

? A Benchmark Event ? Many call it the ?Westminster of the outdoors,? because of its prestige and the high quality of dogs shown.

If you have not attended I urge you to add this to your ?Dog Show Bucket List?.

Thank you to the entire Show Committee for putting on a show I will never forget. Everything was so beautiful and well planned. I enjoyed every moment.
