About Us
Celebrating the Human-Canine Bond
The Great American Dog Show is a full AKC conformation show like you have probably seen on television, but we are so much more! We also feature kids’ events and activities, demonstrations in agility, scent work, obedience, trick dogs and more. We offer dog show tours and lots of educational opportunities.
