a history lesson; Westminster is the oldest Dog Club in America. It is older then AKC. Westminster had club colors of purple and gold. When AKC organized Dog Shows they selected the BOB colors as Purple and Gold in Honor of Westminster. Dog BEST IN SHOW ROSETTES are RED WHITE AND BLUE.But since this show is limited to Champions only they can award with AKC permission any other awards they choose. ----- Original Message ----- From: irrenhaus4 <irrenhaus4@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wednesday, February 16, 2005 12:01 pm Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] BIS Ribbon Color? > I have a bunch of purple and gold Best of Breed ribbons, from > Specialty > clubs, and they are not Westminster wins.Doris > **************************************************** > > > Purple and Gold - colours of the Westminster Kennel Club!
