The KCP’s most notable event is the annual National Dog Show, a prestigious part of the American Kennel Club (AKC) circuit, held every November and nationally broadcast on Thanksgiving Day. Featuring a diverse range of breeds competing across various categories, the show is more than a competitive arena; it serves as an educational platform to promote responsible dog ownership, breed preservation, and canine health.
