LEGENDARY DOG HANDLER TO DETERMINE BEST IN SHOW AT 143rd WESTMINSTER KENNEL CLUB DOG SHOW
Peter J. Green Headlines Judging Panel for Westminster Week 2019

New York, NY – Mr. Peter J. Green of Bowmansville, Pennsylvania has been selected for the ultimate judging assignment in the sport of dogs, Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Held on Feb. 11 and 12, 2019, “America’s Dog Show” will attract up to 2800 dogs all vying for the Best in Show win. Mr. Green, an owner, breeder and profes- sional handler with 60 years of experi- ence in the sport, will make that final decision on the floor of Madison Square Garden.

A native of Neath, Wales, Mr. Green started showing dogs as a boy in 1946. He was introduced to the sport by his uncle who owned Felstead kennels and was a renowned Welsh terrier breeder. Mr. Green emigrated to the U.S. permanently in 1963 and was a private han- dler for Pool Forge kennels in Churchtown, Pennsylvania.

After years of honing his craft of maintaining a proper terrier coat and handling dogs to top wins, he launched a long and storied career as a profes- sional handler in 1966. Mr. Green is recognized by many as the most accomplished dog handler in the sport today. During his career as a professional handler he tied the record for a handler achieving four Best in Show victories at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show (1968, 1977, 1994, and 1998). He also won Best in Show at Crufts in Birmingham (2005), England, the largest dog show in the world, making him one of only two handlers to steer a dog to Best in Show at both Westminster and Crufts. Additionally, he piloted dogs to Best in Show wins nine times at the highly-competitive Montgomery County Kennel Club Terrier Show in Pennsylvania.
