Scope and content
Tacoma Mayor John C. Siegle presents an award at the "Grand Champion Dog Show" on December 11, 1938, at Greenwich Coliseum. The show was apparently licensed by the American Kennel Club (AKC) as the trophy and ribbons are inscribed with its name. The alert cocker spaniel being petted may have also been the Canadian champion. A 17-month particolor, Willett's To-Tone Toni, won the best-of-breed top prize. Judging was conducted by the Very Rev. William S. Walsh who may be the man pictured on the right. 69 out of the 71 entries were benched at the first annual cocker spaniel speciality show. (TNT 12-12-38, p. 12) ALBUM 11.
