Events ITCNY Supports
The Irish Terrier Club of New York selects and supports certain
important dog shows throughout the year. A “Supported Entry” helps
br>
to attract more entries and increase competition at those shows.
A higher level of support is a Specialty. Specialty shows are for a single breed, hosted by a breed club – like ITCNY. The Best of Breed winner is also honored as “Best in Specialty Show.” And it truly is an honor. A Specialty can also feature Sweepstakes, where puppies up to 18 months compete for the Best In Sweepstakes prize.
These are great events to attend if you are interested in meeting Irish Terriers and their people.
