Artist Kathryn Rutherford, of Sevierville, Tennessee, won the December 2006 AKC/Eukanuba National Championship Commemorative Poster Art Contest with an original full brush oil painting.
Entitled "Best in Show", the work presents the seven breed-group winners from the previous year's American Kennel Club National Championship as well as focusing on the overall Best in Show winner. Proceeds from the sale of the poster benefited the Take the Lead Foundation, which assists veteran dog fanciers in times of need.
The 2006 AKC Annual Report outlines the Association's highlights and achievements for the year. Included in this year's report is an outstanding tribute to the artwork created by Kathryn Rutherford and an overview of the National Championship held in Long Beach, California, December 2-4, 2006 where Kathryn was on hand to personally autograph her award winning poster and meet and greet with event goers and competitors.
