Security Measures Expanded At All Westminster Kennel Club Show Venues

Westminster prides itself on providing an exceptional dog show experience for exhibitors and spectators alike as well as providing for the safety and welfare of the dogs. This year is no exception. There are many new safety measures in place and additional improvements at the Piers, including the use of working detection dogs during the events on Saturday, Monday and Tuesday.

Due to crowded conditions, all exhibitors should give themselves additional time entering all venues and to get to their ring. Plan to locate your ring in advance and have a route planned to get there in time for your judging. Those exhibitors/handlers who will be benched in Pier 92 but who will be showing in Pier 94 or vice-versa need to allow time to make that trip. There is a dedicated exhibitor elevator in Pier 92 and a covered walkway with an exhibitor entrance into Pier 94. There is also a new stairway directly between Piers 92 and 94 for Exhibitors without dogs to use.

Information regarding hiring a private guard for The Piers will be included in your entry packet. The security form is also available here. Please note individual private security is not available at Madison Square Garden. There will be an EMT on site during the show. Please see a Citadel Guard, WKC Staff, MB-F Superintendent or AKC Field Representative for any medical needs. MSG Medical personnel are on duty during the Group and Best-in-Show judging. See a Security Guard, WKC Staff, or MB-F personnel if the need arises.
