Dog showing
The most popular form of canine competition in this country is the dog show - the contest for purebred dogs registered with The Kennel Club, such as those seen at Crufts.
Learn more about shows you can compete in, awards you can win and how to qualify for Crufts.
If you're a judge, or perhaps you're an exhibitor who feels ready to start judging, these resources are for you.
If you're a secretary, this section has everything you need to know about running a show or a club.
Just starting out in dog showing? Companion dog shows are fun, informal events that all dogs can take part in. They're usually held as part of a village fete, a charity open day or as a fundraising event in their own right.
We believe that providing information on breed-specific visible health concerns allows judges, breeders and exhibitors to discourage the breeding of dogs with exaggerated conformational issues that are detrimental to health and welfare.
