Madhyamgram Dog Show 2026: Madhyamgram City of Joy Kennel Club 23rd & 24th All Breeds Championship Show

What is the Madhyamgram City of Joy Kennel Club dog show?

It is a KCI (Kennel Club of India) all breeds championship dog show held by Madhyamgram City of Joy Kennel Club. Dogs are judged breed by breed against the written breed standard, and the breed winners go forward to the group rings and the top awards.

The KCI listing numbers this event as the club’s 23rd and 24th shows and gives two dates, Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 December 2026. It names Madhyamgram as the venue town and gives no ground, so this guide names none.

Is Madhyamgram the same as Kolkata?

No. Madhyamgram is a municipal town in North 24 Parganas district, West Bengal, on the northern side of Kolkata and part of the wider Kolkata metropolitan region. The KCI listing names Madhyamgram, not Kolkata, so this guide leads with the town name.

The town lies in the Barasat sub-division of its district, and Barasat is the district headquarters.

Who are the judges at the Madhyamgram City of Joy Kennel Club show?

The KCI schedule lists three judges: Mr. Peter Harsanyi (Hungary), Mr. Glen Vernon (Australia) and Mrs. Anjeli Vaid. The listing gives no country for Mrs. Vaid.

It does not say which judge takes which breeds or groups, or who judges the top awards, so none of that is stated here.

Which day is the 23rd show and which is the 24th?

The listing numbers two shows and gives two dates, but it does not pair a number with a day, so this guide does not either. If the day matters for your dog or your plans, put the question to the club president.

Can I attend the Madhyamgram dog show?

The KCI listing does not state who may attend as a spectator, and it gives no gate fee. Whether spectators are admitted, and what they pay, is for Madhyamgram City of Joy Kennel Club to confirm.

Pet policy is also missing from the listing. If you were thinking of bringing your own dog as a visitor, ask first; this guide cannot say yes.

How should I plan a two-day show weekend near Kolkata?

Two numbered shows share two days and the listing gives no timings, so the first job is to learn the start time from the club. Ask the club when the final ring for the top award is expected.

If you are coming from Kolkata or another town, the town guides below give approximate distances to Madhyamgram, and the club can tell you where to go once the venue is confirmed.

What will I see at an all breeds championship dog show in North 24 Parganas?

• Breed rings, where every breed comes before the judge in turn and is measured against its written standard
• Classes by age and status within a breed, from puppy classes up to Open and Champion
• Group rings and a final ring for the top award, where the breed winners meet
• A panel of three listed judges, two of them from outside India
• Exhibitors and breeders, which makes the show a place to see how a breed stands and moves

How do I enter my dog in the Madhyamgram City of Joy Kennel Club show?

Madhyamgram City of Joy Kennel Club takes the entries, not Pupps & Stud. The KCI listing does not set out the entry process, so ask the club president for the right form, the closing date, the fee and the documents needed.

No closing date is listed, so entries may already have closed. The president’s mobile number and email on this page are the way to ask.

What should I ask Madhyamgram City of Joy Kennel Club before I travel?

• The exact venue in Madhyamgram, since the KCI listing names only the town
• The start time on each day, and which numbered show is held on which day
• Whether spectators are admitted, what they pay, and where vehicles can be left
• Which breeds or groups each of the three judges takes
• Whether entry is still open for a dog, and the closing date

Coming to Madhyamgram from a nearby town?

Thinking about a purebred puppy after the Madhyamgram show?

A show is a good place to watch how a breed carries itself among crowds and noise. Before you choose a puppy, check the breeder’s KCI registration, ask to see the mother with her litter, and look at the parents’ health records.

A puppy buyer consultant can help you compare breeds against your daily routine and living space before you contact anyone.

Are you a breeder in North 24 Parganas or around Kolkata?

Breeders in this part of West Bengal can register on Pupps & Stud and list their KCI-registered puppies, so a buyer who liked a breed at a show has a place to look next.
