How does the National Dog Show work?
The American Kennel Club recognizes 212 dog breeds and breeds (although not all dogs are shown at the National Dog Show in some years). The first round of the National Dog Show pits dogs of the same breed against each other based on how well they fit the breed standard. The winner, named “Best in Breed,” will go on to represent the breed at the next level, the group. The American Kennel Club classifies all dog breeds into seven groups: Sporting, Hound, Working, Terrier, Toy, Non-Sporting, and Herding. At the group level, dogs are not evaluated against each other, but by how well they fit the breed standard. The winners of each group, named “First in Breed,” will compete in the final round for the coveted Best in Show.
What is the prize for Best in Show at the National Dog Show?
The top pup at the National Dog Show receives the coveted Best in Show ribbon and $20,000.
