Kennel Club of Palm Springs to Host 3 All Breed Dog Shows in 2026

For many years, KCPS has been honored and privileged to hold our New Year’s Classic Dog Shows and Obedience Trials, on the first show weekend of each year at the beautiful Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.   With your strong support, our shows have grown to be the largest outdoor dog show events in the West – in both number of entries and the actual size of the event show grounds.

For 2026, we are making a significant change to the format of the shows.   Group Shows and Breed Specialties will now be held on Thursday followed by THREE Days of Kennel Club of Palm Springs All Breed Shows and Obedience Trials.

This change will assure that all AKC recognized breeds can look forward to 3 days of shows on Friday-Saturday-Sunday with major points available in many breeds, preceded by a wide variety of Group and Specialty Shows on Thursday at the same first-class show location.

With a multi-year contract with Empire Polo Club in place, we look forward to hosting the AKC Dog Fancy at our KCPS Winter Classic shows for many years into the future.  This has truly become a Destination Show beginning with our beautiful natural grass show grounds, with large, tented and lighted rings, beautiful weather, and the hospitality of the beautiful adjacent Palm Springs/Palm Desert/La Quinta/Indio Desert communities with available entertainment, dining, and other events for our exhibitors to enjoy after the show.

Mark your calendars NOW!
