Hosted by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, National Dog Show is one of the most well-reputed dog shows all over the world. The show was founded in 1879 and has been held annually since 1933. It’s worth knowing that the American Kennel Club sanctions the National Dog Show, and only AKC-registered purebred dogs can compete. Moreover, the American Kennel Club has added canines to its breed registry, the toy group Biewer Terrier, an athletic and elegant dog with the only purpose of living and being loved. Due to this addition, new three new dog breeds are going to be introduced in this year’s show and can’t be missed.

National Dog Show 2022 Details
Talking about the show, it’s time for the 21st National Dog Show, in which around 200 breeds of dogs and more than 1500 puppies are going to compete.
It is worth knowing that there are two types of dog shows:
- Benched
- Un-benched
In Benched Dog Shows, canine competitors are accessible to the public during the whole show except when competing, exercising, or being groomed.
Participating dogs stay at their assigned benches, and breeders, handlers, and spectators come, meet the dogs and talk to their owners.
While in un-benched shows, participating dogs need to be present only during the judging of their breed or competition.
National Dog Show 2022 Preview
David Frei, John O’Hurley, and Mary Carillo are once again back to provide thrill with their commentary as Ferguson announces the dogs.
The Scottish Deerhound from Virginia, Claire, has retired after winning the Best Show Winner for two consecutive years, 2020 and 2021, as Ferguson prevented the Dog Show from being canceled during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2021 show was more to form as there were 1800 dogs. But this year, with the absence of Claire, the fans and judges will be looking for a new winner in this year’s performance, as the latter will be scoring dogs based on their comparison to the breed’s official standard.
Dog’s conformation, overall appearance, temperament, movement, and structure are high consideration factors in National Dog Show. Judges examine the dogs for their characteristics by allowing them to perform the function. The sole reason behind this examination is to appreciate all the participating breeds, as a dog’s close conformation to the breed standard indicates its incredible ability to produce quality puppies. That’s why only non-spayed, non-neutered, or purebred dogs can compete in the show.
All 209 breeds and verities are classified into seven groups:
- Terrier
- Toy (Pomeranians, Chihuahuas)
- sporting (golden retrievers, pointers)
- working (boxers, Great Danes)
- hound (Scottish Deerhound, dachshund)
- herding (English sheepdogs, Border collies)
- non-sporting (everything else, including Dalmatians and French bulldogs)
Seven participants who top their group go snout-to-snout and compete for the coveted title.
It is to be noted that the National Dog Show will air right after Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 24, Thursday, from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm ET along with Thanksgiving Day’s special PBR Team Series Championship Thanksgiving Marathon.
