We encourage anyone considering purchasing a purebred dog to attend our show and talk to the exhibitors about their breed. Exhibitors must enter these shows several weeks in advance. Our match shows offer an opportunity for novice dogs, exhibitors and judges to practice under show conditions.
Spectators are welcome.
Exhibitors usually can enter their dogs the day of the match and they are much cheaper to enter than a show. In the Spring, Fall and Winter, HKC offers both advanced and beginner conformation training classes. In addition to training your dog for the show ring, beginner students learn the basics from how to enter a dog show to ring etiquette. Classes are instructed by professional dog handlers and AKC judges and are offered in eight-week sessions.
