The history of the Lehigh Valley Kennel Club as we know it...
In 1963, the kennel club had monthly meetings on a Thursday night at the Pilot's Club across from the ABE Airport. It was a small group that met. Bob Bohrer and Donald Walt both held the President's position.
Members included Bob Bohrer(Great Danes), Donald Walt(Poodles), The Brader's(Cocker Spaniels), Florence Green(Pugs), Alma Arnold(German Shepherd Dogs), Bert and Jay Schafer( Spatterdash Dalmatians), Marty and Michelle Weitzman(Dalmatians), Lorraine Groshans(Borzoi), Sandy King(Standard Poodles) and Pat Lane(Cocker Spaniels).
The club put on their own shows, club members tied ropes together and built the rings themselves. Emmaus Park was the location for the Match Show and September Point Show.
