Q: Who was the first woman to judge a dog show in America?

A: In 1888, with her assignment of 117 St. Bernards at Westminster, Anna Whitney became the first woman to judge a dog show in America. She judged every year for the next seven years, but it was 1901 before another woman judged any dog show in the U.S.
