About

The Morris & Essex Kennel Club’s founder, Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge was known as “The Dog Fancier of the Century.” Every five years, since its revival in 2000, the elegance, glamour, style and high level of judging  quality last seen at Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge’s original dog shows of the 1920’s through 1950’s held on her polo fields in Madison, NJ are brought back to life for a new generation.  

The next Morris & Essex Kennel Club point show will be held in 2015 at Colonial Park, Somerset, NJ

The Morris & Essex Kennel Club was honored as “Show of the Year” with M&E President Wayne Ferguson also named this year’s “Man of the Year” at Purina Pro Plan’s Show Dogs of the Year awards held in New York City in 2012. The well-known entrepreneur and philanthropist of animal causes, Wayne Ferguson, founded Cherrybrook in the early 1980’s and revived the Morris & Essex Kennel Club show to its original glory with planning begun in 1997.
