-- FieldTurf Landscape, a leading manufacturer of artificial turf systems, has announced the renewal of its partnership with The Westminster Kennel Club. This extends its role as the official turf provider of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show through 2028, kicking off with the 150th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, which will take place on January 31 and February 2- -3, 2026 in New York City.
The renewed agreement follows two successful show partnerships in which FieldTurf Landscape installed more than 60,000 square feet of its TruRoll turf system with an underlayment pad, providing a high-performance surface for the world’s top dogs to compete at the world’s greatest dog show.
“At FieldTurf, we take pride in delivering surfaces that support performance at the highest level, whether for professional athletes or world-class dogs,” said Scott Lindow, Vice President of FieldTurf Landscape. “Westminster sets the bar for excellence in the world of dog sports, and we’re honored to continue our partnership for the next three years.”
FieldTurf Landscape’s involvement began in 2023 at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center and continued through 2025 at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden, the original home of the Westminster Dog Show. The company worked closely with the club and event organizers to ensure every detail, from safety and performance to appearance on national broadcasts, met the highest expectations.
“The Westminster Kennel Club is proud to continue its partnership with FieldTurf Landscape, whose high-quality, pet-friendly turf provides the perfect stage for the world-class dogs and handlers who gather in New York each year for our iconic event,” said Dr. Donald Sturz, President of The Westminster Kennel Club. “Our shared commitment to innovation and performance helps ensure a competition experience worthy of Westminster champions. We are grateful for FieldTurf's continued support and excited to celebrate our milestone 150th anniversary show together.”
The renewed partnership will begin with the 150th anniversary of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in 2026. The epic three-day, three-night milestone event will feature over 3,000 champion dogs from around the world in a variety of showstopping activities, culminating with the coveted Best in Show award, which will be crowned at Madison Square Garden on February 3. Westminster’s “Canine Celebration” will kick off Westminster Week on Saturday, January 31, at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. FieldTurf Landscape is proud to continue delivering elite performance surfaces for one of the most prestigious and enduring events in the canine world.

About the Westminster Kennel Club
Established in 1877, the Westminster Kennel Club is America's oldest organization dedicated to the sport of dogs.

The Club’s mission is to enhance the lives of all dogs by celebrating the human-canine bond and promoting responsible dog ownership and breed preservation. Westminster advocates for purpose-bred dogs, recognizing that each breed carries a unique legacy that deserves to be taught, honored, and preserved.
Westminster Week centers around the prestigious conformation competition, open exclusively to elite dogs with Champion status, to compete for the coveted Best in Show title. Westminster’s Masters Agility Championship, alongside other canine skills competitions, welcome dogs of all backgrounds—including mixed breeds—to showcase their speed, precision, and teamwork.
