The Kennel Club of Philadelphia’s (KCP) two all-breed dog shows are sanctioned by The American Kennel Club. The KCP is a non-profit and proceeds from the show are donated to a variety of canine-related causes. Prior beneficiaries include Morris Animal Refuge, New Leash on Life USA, Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House, The Utley Foundation, The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, and The Canine Health Foundation.
- Each day is a separate and distinct dog show with breed, group and Best In Show judging.
- Please understand you cannot bring your own dog to the show.
Temple University research shows that families spend an average of 3.5 hours at the dog show. With the friendly ticket pricing of $16 for those who are COVID-19 vaccinated, the National Dog Show is the best entertainment value in the tri-state area.
