All the entrants have been acknowledged as of November 11, 2009,  paid the fees and are  nearing the day they have worked hard on for sometime.  On December 12 th and 13 th, many breeds of dogs will enter the reserved Entertainment and convention center in Long Beach California for the  AKC/ Eukanuba National Championship.    The over 260,000 square feet of indoor space will be proportionately divided for specific events.  30,000 square feet is designated to obedience and 60,000 square feet will be used for agility invitationals.

Meeting the contestants which are the parade of the breeds and their managers will, as always be one of the eye drawing proceedings that thrill everyone.  Imagine, for a minute, the excitement of years of training to be highlighted for your efforts at such a gala affair.  Special recognition is given to an owner who shows their own dog at this Dog show by categorizing those proud pet owners in a designated group all alone.

The excitement effects the managers more than the animals, since the dogs focus has been so deeply worked on, that the canines just go and strut their stuff for the judges to view and give awards accordingly.  The wide variety of groups of dogs walking together is like no runway you will ever experience in any other show.  Categories include:  All sporting, hounds, toy and non-sporting breeds with Junior Showmanship will be in the spot light on Saturday for the judges.  On Sunday spectators will be again wowed with all working, Terrier, Herding breeds with a miscellaneous  class open for judging.  The information is courtesy American Kennel Club calendar for December 2009.  You can follow all the latest happenings by logging in on their website at:  http://www/akc.org  Results of the Championship Show will be announced on December 13th by that trusted site.
