Windsor Championship Dog Show Schedule

Each day will host different breeds of pedigree dogs, which is divided into seven groups.

On Thursday 28 June visitors can see the Hound and Toy Groups being judged with the Terrier and Utility Groups on Friday 29 June. The Working and Pastoral Groups are judged Saturday 30 June and finally on Sunday 1 July it’s all the Gundogs and the finale, the Best in Show.

The pedigree dogs taking part will be judged on a number of factors in the ring, including temperament and that they are fit, healthy and good examples of their breed, as they compete for the ultimate Best in Show award.

In addition to breed judging, the show is holding the Kennel Club Good Citizen Dog Scheme, providing demonstrations of the Scheme’s exercises in action and offering exhibitors the opportunity to take part and achieve their Bronze Award.  The Scheme is designed to promote responsible dog ownership for all types of dogs, young or old.
