It’s that wonderful time of year once again! Entries are now open for the 23rd annual AKC National Championship presented by Royal Canin taking place December 16th and 17th at Orlando’s Orange County Convention Center (OCCC). Entries are also open for our AKC/Royal Canin National All-Breed Puppy and Junior Stakes that will be held on Friday December 15th at OCCC.
The AKC National Championship is one of the world’s premiere dog events. It is the largest dog show in the United States and the only conformation dog show hosted by the American Kennel Club that culminates in crowing America’s Champion.
There are several other spectacular events featuring AKC sports held in conjunction with the National Championship; The AKC® Agility Invitational presented by YuMOVE, the AKC® Obedience Classic, the AKC Fast CAT® Invitational, Junior handler competitions in Conformation, Agility, Obedience, and Rally, and special attraction diving dogs. Earlier in the week at the OCCC, spectators can see top dogs compete at the Space Coast Kennel Club of Palm Bay, Brevard Kennel Club, and Central Florida Kennel Club dog shows.
