Westminster Kennel Club's Don Sturz on why dogs are a gay's best friend
Like many queer people, Don Sturz has enjoyed a long love affair with dogs. As a boy struggling with his sexuality, Sturz found comfort and self-worth training his pups for competition. Decades after first showing at the legendary Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, established in 1877, Sturz served as a Best in Show judge at the 2022 event, crowning the first Bloodhound (Trumpet!) as winner. Then last year Sturz became president of the Westminster Kennel Club and the first openly gay one at that. A former educator and mental health expert, Sturz often speaks of the beneficial relationship between dogs and people, especially how the former can bring joy and purpose to the latter. We spoke with Sturz before this year’s Kennel Club Dog Show, which took place at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, N.Y., in May. Sturz expounded on the LGBTQ+ community’s special relationship with dogs and what we can learn from Kristi Noem.
