Ladies Kennel Club 1910 Ribbons

On the left is a blue ‘First Prize’ ribbon from the Ladies Kennel Association of California (LKAC) dated October 27-28, 1910. On the right is a green ‘Reserve Winners’ ribbon from the San Mateo Kennel Club dated September 10, 1910.

At a time when women’s public roles were still limited, kennel clubs offered a space for leadership and visibility. Events and awards like this highlight their influence within the expanding world of competitive dog shows.
