WESTBURY FLASHBACK
Whether they arrived in a 1916 Model T, or a new 1929 Lincoln Model L, visitors to, and exhibitors at, the early Westbury Kennel Shows came in droves. A century later it is SUVs, hybrids, RVs and electrics. Farms, fields, and forests have given way to houses, malls, and parking lots. Roads are paved, not mud and ruts, but they are crowded and have the usual assortment of
pot holes! From the Roaring Twenties to today's Controversial Twenties, with numerous breeds by our side {mostly Terriers in those early years} Westbury Kennel Association has written many successful pages in over a century, and we'll continue that tradition in the years ahead.
Westbury sprouted at the end of WW-1, reveled through the Roaring 1920s, survived the 1930's Great Depression, endured WW-2, transformed in the '50s and '60s, and beyond, Our background music has gone from Radio-eclipsed Victrolas to digital; from Jazz, to Big Bands, to Rock & Roll, and more; essentially from Flappers to Rappers! Westbury has learned much, and grown wiser, in every one of its 100+ years. We have seen and heard it all. We have persevered, and we have survived.
Have our dogs changed? Yes, they have, but thankfully they still love us unconditionally, and we still love them dearly.
