All day: Morris & Essex Kennel Club Dog Show

All day: Morris & Essex Kennel Club Dog Show

All day
October 5, 2021

I don't usually include non-New York City events in the Urban Dog calendar, but this Somerset, New Jersey event seems interesting!

The Morris & Essex dog show is called the "Bridgadoon" of dog shows because it only happens every five years. It's super fancy (and fancy to mount... hence why it happens so infrequently.) And it attracts the cream of the dog crop and lots and lots of fancy hats!
