THE SOMERSET HILLS KENNEL CLUB ALL-BREED POINT SHOW
The first show took place on September 14, 1923 at the Far Hills Fair grounds, under the leaders of Club President K.B. Schley, and Show Chairman, Arthur Jones. There were 350 entrants. The Show was presented in Far Hills until 1976, when the Show was first presented at North Branch Park, in North Branch, NJ. North Branch Park has been the site of the show since 1976, accommodating the expansion of the Club’s events from conformation to agility and coursing ability trials.
The Club is also proud to assist dozens of breed clubs in presenting their specialty shows and supported entries.
A hallmark of the Somerset Hills Kennel Club show is the brass band that plays on the hill overlooking the show for all to enjoy. The Club most recently hosted it's 86th All-Breed point show in September, 2022, with a total entry of 1,747. There were dog majors in 17 breeds, and bitch majors in 30 breeds!
