Show and Events

The Rose City Classic Series of Dog Shows is one of the largest and most popular dog events in the United States. It spans 5 days, starting with 18 Individual Breed Specialty Shows on Wednesday, followed by 4 days of All-Breed Dog Shows, featuring Conformation Judging of 160+ Breeds, Obedience, Rally and Agility Trials on Thursday through Sunday. Friday features a Canine Good Citizen Test and a new class for Beginner Puppies, 4-6 months old. Saturday features a special evening competition honoring our finest breeders, the Eukanuba Breeders' Stakes.

Many of the best dogs in America and dogs from other countries will travel to Portland to join in the fun and competition. The clubs of the Rose City Classic Series of Dog Shows appreciate the ongoing support from the IAMS Company and Eukanuba Dog Food, which is the exclusive pet food supporter of the Rose City Classic. We could not host such great shows without their backing.

Entries close for the Rose City Classic on January 4, 2012. About a week after entries close, the judging schedule for each breed and event will be available online here.
