Dehradun Dog Show 2026: Doon Valley Kennel Club 72nd & 73rd All Breeds Championship Dog Show

What is the Doon Valley Kennel Club dog show in Dehradun?

It is a KCI (Kennel Club of India) all breeds championship dog show held by Doon Valley Kennel Club in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Each breed is judged on its own against the written standard, and the breed winners go forward to the group rings and the top awards.

The listing names two numbered shows, the 72nd and the 73rd, and gives them a single date, Sunday 6 December 2026. The venue is listed as the city only, so this guide names no ground or hall.

Is the Dehradun show one show or two on 6 December?

The listing prints “72nd & 73rd” beside one date. It does not say how the two numbered shows are divided across that day, or whether they run in turn or in separate rings. No timetable is invented here.

If the split matters to you, for example because you plan to show a dog, put the question to the secretary using the contact details on this page.

Where is the Dehradun dog show held?

The KCI listing names Dehradun, in Uttarakhand, as the venue city and gives no ground or hall. Doon Valley Kennel Club is the club named on the listing.

Dehradun is the main city of the Doon valley, the broad valley that lies between the Shivalik foothills in the south and the Himalayan foothills in the north, with the Ganga along one side and the Yamuna along the other.

Who are the judges at the Doon Valley Kennel Club show?

The judges are not announced yet. The KCI schedule lists no judge names for the Doon Valley Kennel Club show, so no names appear on this page.

Can I attend the dog show in Dehradun?

Who may enter as a spectator is not stated on the KCI listing for this show. Ask Doon Valley Kennel Club whether visitors are admitted, what they pay at the gate, and where cars may be left.

The listing is silent on pets, so plan for your own dog to stay at home unless the club says otherwise.

How should I plan a single-day show in Dehradun?

Everything is packed into one date, Sunday 6 December 2026, and the listing gives no start time. Phone the secretary for the time the rings open before you set the day aside.

One day is enough to see how an all breeds show runs from the first breed rings to the final awards. Take water, wear comfortable shoes, and keep young children by your side near the rings.

What will I see at an all breeds championship dog show in Uttarakhand?

• Breed rings, with each breed brought in turn before the judge and measured against its standard
• Classes sorted by age and status, running from puppy classes up to Champion
• Group rings, where the winners of related breeds meet again
• The top-award ring at the end of the programme
• Handlers moving dogs at a trot and standing them for the judge’s hands-on examination

What does “all breeds” mean at a Dehradun championship show?

An all breeds show admits every breed on the KCI list, and the judges work through the breeds one at a time. A dog meets only its own breed until the group and top-award rings bring the winners together.

That layout lets a single day cover many breeds, from a toy Pomeranian to a giant Great Dane, each judged against a different written standard.

How do I enter my dog in the Doon Valley Kennel Club show?

Doon Valley Kennel Club takes the entries, not Pupps & Stud. The KCI listing does not set out the entry process, so ask the secretary for the form, the closing date and the documents required.

The listing gives no closing date, so the entry window may already have shut. The secretary’s mobile number above is the way to find out.

What should I ask Doon Valley Kennel Club before I travel?

• The exact venue in Dehradun, since the listing names only the city
• How the 72nd and 73rd shows are divided across 6 December
• The time the first ring opens
• What a spectator pays, and where cars can be left
• The judge panel, once the club has one to share
• Whether entry is still open for a dog

Thinking about a purebred puppy after the Dehradun show?

A show ring is a good place to watch how a breed carries itself around crowds and noise. Before you choose a puppy, check the breeder’s KCI registration and the health records of both parents, and meet the mother with her litter if you can.

A puppy buyer consultant can help you weigh a breed against your home, your daily routine and the Uttarakhand climate.

Are you a breeder in Dehradun or Uttarakhand?

Breeders across Uttarakhand can register on Pupps & Stud and list their KCI-registered puppies, so a buyer who liked a breed at a show has somewhere to look next.
