context_page_description: Ch. Kenmare Sorceress, an Airedale Terrier, was the first of its breed to have won the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, in 1912. She was originally from Wales, but was imported into the United States by William P. Wolcott in September 1910.
context_section_description: Following her arrival in the United States, Sorceress was shown frequently at conformation shows around the country. In 1911, the Airedale Terrier Club of New England offered a new trophy, called the "Airedale Terrier Club of New England Shield" for the best dog or bitch owned by a member. It was awarded for the first time in 1912, to Kenmare Sorceress.
  The most valuable trophy offered by the club was the "Champion the New King Bowl", given to the best dog or bitch in the show. Kenmare Sorceress won this trophy on the second occasion it was awarded, at the second annual show of the club in November 1912 beating imports Abbey King Nobbler and Abbey King Magic, thought to be the best of their breed from England. In addition at the second annual show, Kenmare Sorceress' daughter Bothwell Sorceress made her debut and was described as the "sensation of the show". The "Airedale Bowl" was awarded at several dog shows each year by the Airedale Club of America, and Kenmare Sorceress won the trophy twice in 1911 and twice again in 1912.
