After one of my podcasts, a question was sent to me asking that I clear up certain topics for the “B-list” exhibitors. “B-list” exhibitors? I’m not really sure what that means? Is it meant as a title for exhibitors that are not as successful as some? Is it meant for those exhibitors that don’t attend as many shows as an “A-list” exhibitor? So being the diligent researcher I am, I asked Chat GPT.

Being an “interactive” person in the “dog sport” for over a half-century, I figured out a few things.
The Westminster Kennel Club is a mix of tradition and innovation in the dog world. And both are plain in the way it has historically treated women. One example of tradition is its exclusion of women members until very recently. One example of innovation was its choice in 1888 of Miss Anna Whitney to judge, the first time a woman officiated at any dog show in the United States.
As we were wrapping up the February issue of The Canine Chronicle and readying it for print, my thoughts turned to preparation for Westminster and our trek to New York City for the show.
