The Salem Acme Kennel Club hosted a spectacular event on December 8, 2024—the 31st and 32nd Championship Pointed Dog Show. Held at the picturesque Little Flower Higher Secondary School in Four Roads, Salem, the show brought together passionate dog lovers, top-notch exhibitors, and esteemed judges for an unforgettable day dedicated to canine excellence.


A Warm and Cultural Welcome

The day began with an exceptional display of Indian hospitality and culture. The judges—Mrs. Tricia Cutler, Mrs. Julianne Keenan, and Mrs. Annette Bowe, all renowned all-breed judges from Australia—were warmly welcomed with shawls, garlands, and traditional music.


Upholding local traditions, this ceremonial gesture set the tone for an event that seamlessly blended professionalism with cultural richness.

Adding to the grandeur of the event, Tamil Nadu’s Tourism Minister, Mr. R. Rajendran, inaugurated the show by cutting the ceremonial ribbon.


The Minister, known for his keen interest in community events, took the time to observe the exhibits and gain a deeper understanding of how dog shows operate. His presence not only elevated the event’s significance but also drew the attention of media outlets, ensuring wide coverage.
