Enter the 2026 CKC National Championship Dog Show

Canada’s national stage is set. On Saturday, September 26, dogs and handlers from across the country will gather at Noteworthy Farm in Cross Creek, New Brunswick, to compete for the title of 2026 CKC National Conformation Champion.

Presented by the Miramichi Kennel Club and Royal Canin, the CKC National Championship Dog Show will be the centrepiece of a full weekend of competition running September 25–27.

Competitors will contend for national recognition, Crufts 2027 qualification and more than $12,000 in cash prizes. The dog awarded Best in Show will take home $5,000 and the title of 2026 CKC National Conformation Champion.

The weekend will also celebrate dogs at every stage of their journey, with opportunities for puppies, veterans, altered dogs and owner-handled teams. Beyond the conformation rings, attendees can look forward to other events such as Rally Obedience, Obedience, Lure Coursing, Sprinter, Junior Handling and Dock Diving.

Whether you are hoping to make history in the National Championship Dog Show ring or enjoy a memorable weekend alongside Canada’s purebred dog community, we hope you will join us.
