After several years in various locations, The Kennel Club of Philadelphia Dog Shows will be held in the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center for at least the next three years. This year, over 2,000 dogs will compete each day in the AKC-sanctioned all-breed dog shows. They are benched shows, which means the dogs and handlers must remain on-site through the weekend, allowing dog lovers close encounters with over 160 breeds. The owners typically celebrate the origins of the breed with decorated exhibits that teach about the breed’s history and unique attributes.
