Thousands of dogs will take to the show rings this weekend in two all-breed, benched dog shows as the the Kennel Club of Philadelphia hosts the National Dog Show Presented by Purina, to be broadcast Thanksgiving on NBC.
John O’Hurley, of ”Family Feud,” “Seinfeld” and “Dancing with the Stars” fame, hosts the Saturday show, which will be televised at noon on Thanksgiving.
A second show will be held Sunday, with more than 150 breeds competing for Best in Show, vendors, demonstrations and more.
Tickets for the show — held at the The Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, just north of Valley Forge — are $12 for adults and $6 for children under 12, and are available at the door or online.
On both days, show visitors can watch more than 150 breeds compete in 11 show rings, view demonstrations and visit the dogs and owners backstage.
Unbenched, all-breed shows precede the Kennel Club of Philadelphia Dog Shows at the same site on Thursday and Friday. Admission to those shows is $5 each.
You can learn more about the event on its website.
