National Dog Show Coming To Montgomery County

OAKS, PA — The region's annual "canine extravaganza" is returning to Montgomery County this November.

The National Dog Show, hosted by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, will take place on Nov. 17-18 at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks.

The historic event, which can be traced back to 1876, will feature more than 190 American Kennel Club sanctioned dog breeds. In 2017, a total of 2,135 extremely well-groomed pups attended the event.

Organizers had the following to say about the show:

"The National Dog Show competition is one of only three "benched" shows remaining in the United States. "Benched" format means that the show is open to the public and the dogs are on display all day long so that attendees of all ages can see and learn about the various breeds. Their displays are often decorated and themed according to their country of origin. The weekend also includes high-action feats from canine performance teams featured at various times throughout Saturday and Sunday."

Things will kick off at 8 a.m. on Nov. 17 and continued to 6 p.m. The show then runs from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday.
