Best of Breed Medallions

Best of Breed Medallions

2024 Best of Breed Medallions are Back!

The International Kennel Club of Chicago has been proud to offer the coveted IKC Best of Breed medallions throughout our history. With the rebirth of the IKC, we are again offering the iconic medallions, but bigger and better! The new medallions are 2” in diameter adorned with a green and gold grosgrain ribbon, each in an individual award box for the extremely reasonable sponsorship level of $55 for both the winter (January 20, 2024) and autumn (November 23, 2024) shows.

We are pleased to invite you to be part of IKC tradition by sponsoring the Best of Breed medallion for your breed. Sponsorship is open to individuals and regional clubs who wish to sponsor their breed’s medallions!

Sponsorship for 2024 allows the sponsoring club or person the first opportunity to sponsor the next year, so missing this chance could mean missing it forever.

Please check the list below to see which breeds have already been sponsored.

Please note that paying via credit card includes a $5 convenience fee.
