Exciting New Changes for the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship

Entries close Wednesday, November 14, 2012!

The 2012 edition of the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship show has added to the format of this prestigious show. All AKC registered dogs are eligible to compete at the 12th Annual event held December 15-16, 2012 in Orlando, Florida for the first time since the successful 125th Anniversary Show in 2009.. This will be a great way to start out that exciting new young dog or a glorious way to finish a dog’s championship. With the three all breed shows of the Orlando Cluster (Space Coast Kennel Club of Palm Bay, Brevard Kennel Club, Central Florida Kennel Club) being held December 12-14 in the same location, this will be the year’s premier weekend of dog shows for conformation, obedience and agility.

In celebration of the new show format for the 2012 AKC/Eukanuba National Championship, all dogs who achieved the established “qualifying criteria” will be welcomed into the new “AKC/Eukanuba National Championship Honor Roll”. Dogs on the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship Honor Roll will earn a “Certificate of Achievement” and other benefits in recognition of these accomplishments.

Each dog inducted into the “Honor Roll” will be entitled to:

• A commemorative pin acknowledging them as a 2012 AKC/Eukanuba National Championship Honoree. This pin is exclusively for dogs that have qualified and are competing at the event.
• A personalized “Certificate of Achievement” certificate as a 2012 Honor Roll qualifier.
• Special designation in the event catalog as an Honoree for that year.
• One free photograph of the Honoree in the online catalog that is archived on the AKC website.

Entries for the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship are quickly approaching the deadline. Please Note that The AKC/Eukanuba National Championship is not limited and entries will close for the event on November 14th, 2012. This is a week before the All-breed shows of the Orlando Cluster held in conjunction close their entries (November 21, 2012) . The All-Breed shows have a limit of 4,200 per event.
