Dog showing
For more than 100 years, The Royal Kennel Club has been at the heart of dog showing in the UK, championing the sport and supporting the exhibitors, judges and clubs who make it thrive.
Dog showing is the most popular form of canine competition in this country, and every purebred dog you see in the Crufts rings is registered with The Royal Kennel Club. As the official home of the sport, the RKC sets breed standards, provides training and guidance, and helps newcomers and seasoned competitors alike take part with confidence.
