They are a culmination of more than a century of refinement with a careful balance between tradition and modernity. This story traverses the remote, quaint English countryside and the busy streets of Manhattan. It explores the development of dog shows, from local gatherings to formal arenas. And it examines the American Kennel Club, whose role as the exclusive custodian of the modern day dog show was instrumental in its development."', 360, 700)) |
