2012 Hudson Valley Cluster of Dog Shows
Once again, MHKA will join with the Wallkill and Shawangunk Kennel Clubs to host the 2012 Hudson Valley Cluster of Dog Shows at the Ulster County Fair Grounds, on Libertyville Road in New Paltz, NY. It will run from Thursday, June 21st to Saturday, June 23rd. This is MHKA's annual point show event.
Representatives from the Working, Sporting, Non-Sporting, Herding, Terrier, Hound and Toy groups will be in the ring over three days of judging, making this event an excellent opportunity for those looking for a puppy to learn about specific breeds, and meet reputable breeders. As with all MHKA-sponsored show events, admission is free for spectators.
Updates and information about registration and deadlines will be posted here as the event date approaches. This year's Point Show chairman is Gayle Bontecou. The show will be supervised by MB-F.
A university town just off NY Thruway 87, New Paltz offers many restaurants, shops, a brewery, and resort activities to enjoy when the show is over. To get there, view the map.

Also known as conformation, all-breed and point shows, dog shows provide a venue in which dogs are evaluated as future breeding stock. Each dog is judged against its breed's Standard. Each of the recognized AKC breeds has its own written Standard, which describes the ideal size, temperament, color, movement and structure of each breed. At a dog show, dogs compete for points which advance them to the title of Champion. In order to earn a Championship, a dog must have 15 points and 2 major wins that were awarded by 3 different judges at separate shows.
