AKC National Championship
The AKC National Championship is held by the American Kennel Club every year in December or January in the US. Over 3,000 dogs from all over the world come to compete, by invitation only, but only seven go to best in show.
The first National Championship was held in Orlando, Florida in 2001. The 2002 show was also in Orlando. The next show was held in 2003 and was in Long Beach, California. The 2006 and 2006 shows were held in Tampa, Florida. The show recently switched from being held in January to being held in December, which explains why there were two winners in 2006.
