The Philadelphia Kennel Club National Dog Show presented by Purina will be held at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks on Nov. 20 and 21. The National Dog Show is unique to other dog show because it is a “Benched” show, where the dogs and their exhibitors are assigned booths for certain hours during the show so that visitors can talk with exhibitors and even interact with the dogs.
Dogs are available Nov. 20 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Nov. 21 from noon until 3:30 p.m. The show is Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The National Dog Show is televised on NBC immediately following the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, with 20 million people nationally and internationally viewing it each year. It is the most widely watched dog show in the world!
The National Dog Show will bring 2,000 dogs and close to 170 breeds into Philadelphia. Of those, six new AKC breeds will make their debut. They are: Boykin Spaniel, Leonberger, Cane Corso, Icelandic Sheepdog, Bluetick Coonhound and the Redbone Coonhound.
Tickets and more information about the show are available at www.nationaldogshow.com. Tickets for adults are $12 and for children 12 and under are $6. The show is a great event for families to attend and learn about dogs up close.
Better Than A Travel Guide will be there next Sunday...we hope to see you there too!
