The night before the first show, who should arrive but the city sanitary inspectors. They said that they were going to close down the show because the venue was located too close to the main dining room. After promising to take the dogs out through the freight elevators (and not parade them through the store), League organizers were allowed to proceed with the show.
For the first time, the League had to take out special insurance coverage in the event of dog bites for members walking Doberman pinschers.
The shows continued until 1940.
