Event Highlights

• 4 All-Breed Championship Shows: Four separate opportunities for dogs to earn points toward their Canadian Championship.

• Specialty Shows: This particular weekend is a major hub for “Specialties”—competitions dedicated to specific breeds. For 2026, these include:

  • National Specialty: French Bulldog Fanciers of Canada.

  • Regional Specialties: Dachshund Club of Greater Ontario, American Cocker Spaniel Club of Central Ontario, and the Bulldog Club of Canada.

• Limited Breed Shows: Specialized shows focusing specifically on Groups 1 (Sporting), 2 (Hounds), 4 (Terriers), and 5 (Toys).

• Junior Handling (Saturday, March 21): A dedicated competition for young handlers (ages 4 to 18) to showcase their skills in the ring.

What to Expect

If you attend on the Saturday, the building will be at its peak capacity. You can expect to see hundreds of dogs, professional grooming stations, and several rings running simultaneously. It is the best weekend in March to see specific, rarer breeds due to the high number of specialty clubs joining the event.
