Dates and Judges for Regional
and
National Westie Specialty Shows
At least 16 regional West Highland
White Terrier clubs hold a regional specialty show, usually in conjunction
with an all-breed club dog show. These are held around the country from
March until November each year. In addition, the national club, the West
Highland White Terrier Club of America, holds two shows each year: a Roving
Specialty, which travels around the country and is generally hosted by
one of the regional Westie clubs, and the National Specialty, held every
year in conjunction with the Montgomery County Kennel Club show, usually
on the first Sunday in October.
Starting in 2005, the venue has been changed for the Montgomery show, and it will be held at:
Montgomery County Community College
340 DeKalb Pike
Blue Bell, PA 19422

The Montgomery County Kennel Club show
is the largest all-terrier show in the U.S., with over 2,000 terriers
competing. The day before the Montgomery show, the WHWTCA holds a puppy
sweepstakes and an obedience trial.
