World Dog Show
The World Dog Show is a Fédération Cynologique Internationale-sanctioned, four-to-six-day long[1] international dog show, held yearly since 1971. It has been called the most important dog show in the world.[2] The World Show includes agility, obedience, junior handler, conformation, and other events and demonstrations.[3] Dogs who win in any category are awarded the title "World Champion".[4] The show places a special emphasis on rare and unusual dog breeds. It is one of the largest dog shows in the world, with shows attracting upwards of 10,000 entrants.[1][5] It is held in a different country each year.[3]
Some people feel that a win at the World Dog Show is worth more, reputation-wise, than the same win at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show.[6] Entries in the World Show are from Fédération Cynologique Internationale member clubs, and non-member clubs (such as the American Kennel Club) by invitation.[7]
