WHAT: The American Kennel Club® Museum of the Dog’s newest exhibition, Scotland, The Brave Dogs will run from March 26th, 2026, through July 12th, 2026. This exhibition celebrates Scottish breeds through works by noted Scottish artists such as Edwin Douglas and Samuel Fulton, as well as renowned artists Sir Edwin Landseer, Richard Ansdell, John Sargent Noble, and George and Maud Earl.
More than a celebration of iconic breeds, the exhibition offers a window into the nation’s rich history and cultural legacy. Through the stories of these dogs, their roles, their evolution, and their deep connection to the land, we honor Scotland itself: its working traditions, its artistic heritage, and the remarkable dogs that helped shape both.

WHEN: Thursday, March 26th, 2026 – Sunday, July 12th, 2026
WHERE: AKC Museum of the Dog, 101 Park Avenue, New York, NY, 10178
