THE OBEDIENCE EVENT IS HELD AT PIERS 92 AND 94. WKC HOSTS OVER 3,000 DOGS, THEIR OWNERS HANDLERS, CLUN MEMBERS AND OVER 19,000 SPECTATORS WHOSE COMON INTEREST IS THE STUDY AND PROMOTION OF RESPONSIBLE OWNERSHIP. THE DOGS ARE CATEGORIZED BY BREED INTO SEVEN GROUPS. DOGS WITHIN EACH GROUP COMPETE FOR BEST OF BREED. THE WINNERS OF THE BREEDS WITHIN EACH GROUP THEN COMPETE FOR BEST IN GROUP. THE WINNERS FROM EACH GROUP THEN COMPETE FOR "BEST IN SHOW." AS PART OF THE COMPETITION, THE ANNOUNCER INTRODUCES EACH GROUP OF DOGS WHILE PROVIDING A BRIEF HISTORY AND BACKGROUND OF THE GROUP. FOR EACH BREED, THE ANNOUNCER PROVIDES ITS HISTORY, RELATIONSHIP WITH HUMANS, COMMON CHARACTERISTICS, AND OTHER INFORMATION THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL IN DECIDING WHICH BREED WOULD MAKE THE BEST PET. OTHER EDUCATIONAL AND INFORMATIONAL ASPECTS OF THE SHOW INCLUDE THE BENCHING AND JUNIOR SHOWMANSHIP COMPETITION. THE "BENCHING" PORTION OF THE SHOW MEANS THAT WHENEVER THE DOG IS NOT COMPETING, THE DOG MUST BE AVAILABLE IN THE BENCHING AREA WITH ITS OWNER OR HANDLER TO BE VIEWED BY THE SPECTATORS. THIS GIVES THE SPECTATORS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS AND SEE THE DOGS INDIVIDUALLY. THE JUNIOR SHOWMANSHIP COMPETITION GIVES YOUNG PEOPLE THE CHANCE TO DISPLAY THEIR SKILLS IN THE RING SHOWING DOGS. THIS PARTICULAR COMPETITION MEASURES THE SKILL OF THE HANDLER RATHER THAN THE DOG. BASED ON THE VISIBILITY AND SCOPE OF THE ANNUAL DOG SHOW AS WELL AS THE ONGOING ACTIVITIES OF THE CLUB DURING THE YEAR, THE WESTMINSTER KENNEL CLUB PROMOTOES THE COMMON GOOD AND SOCIAL WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF INTERNAL REVENUE CODE SECTION 501(C)(4).
