The Westminster Kennel Club Announces The Dog Show’s Return to New York City in 2022

The 146th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and the Masters Agility Championship, both presented by Purina Pro Plan®, will return to New York City on January 22 and 24-26, 2022. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s rescheduled Westminster dog show and trial are being held on June 11-13, 2021 on the grounds of historic Lyndhurst, a National Trust for Historic Preservation property in Tarrytown, New York.

As New York State continues to open event venues, the club looks forward to returning to its longtime home of New York City. The Masters Agility Championship precedes the dog show each year and the club intends to host that popular event on January 22, 2022, at a pending location. At the same venue, the daytime breed judging and the Masters Obedience Championship will be held over three days from Monday to Wednesday, January 24-26, 2022.

The evening Group and Best in Show competitions will return to Madison Square Garden, the world’s most famous arena, on Tuesday, January 25 and Wednesday, January 26, 2022. All event information will become available at westminsterkennelclub.org.
