Geraldine R. Dodge with Rin Tin Tin in 1929

At the 1933 show, Mrs. Dodge brought Rin-Tin-Tin in from Hollywood, using the popular film star to further interest in the German Shepherd breed. It was not unusual in those days to see major two-legged celebrities and stars such as Gary Cooper in attendance at Morris & Essex shows.

Mrs. Dodge died in 1973, but her influence on dogs and charities lives on through her charitable foundation, the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation. One of these charities is the St. Hubert's Giralda Animal Welfare and Education Center located on the grounds of Giralda Farms, her old estate. Giralda was the name of Mrs. Dodge's kennel. St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center was the beneficiary of the 2000 Morris & Essex dog show.
