The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is one of the most prestigious and long-running events in the world of purebred dogs, dating back to 1877 and making it one of the oldest continuously held sporting events in the United States. In 2026, the show celebrates its 150th anniversary, with top champion dogs from hundreds of breeds competing over multiple days of breed judging, agility competitions, and junior showmanship preliminaries at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, before the evening group competitions and the coveted Best in Show finale take place at historic Madison Square Garden in New York City on February 2–3, 2026. Dogs are judged against exacting breed standards, and the ultimate Best in Show winner earns the unofficial title of “America’s Dog,” bringing prestige to its breeders and handlers alike as fans from around the world gather to witness elegant grooming, expert handling, and fierce competition among thousands of elite canine contenders.
