Dog Show Near Rishikesh: Dehradun Championship Show, Dec 6

How far is Dehradun from Rishikesh by road?

About 42 km by road (approximate). Dehradun lies north-west of Rishikesh. Rishikesh stands on the Ganga where the river leaves the hills, and it is also in Dehradun district, the same district as the show.

The KCI listing gives the city and not the ground. The distance here is to Dehradun, and the real figure moves with the venue.

Is it worth making the Dehradun show a day trip from Rishikesh?

The listing offers one date, Sunday 6 December 2026, and no start time. At about 42 km by road (approximate), the longest road figure among the four town guides, the trip suits a person with a clear reason to go, such as a favourite breed or a dog to enter.

Phone the secretary and find out when that breed is judged. A planned arrival beats a day of waiting around the rings.

Arranging care for a dog in Rishikesh

The listing does not mention pets, so leave your dog with someone you trust in Rishikesh. A dog left alone for a long day is better off after a walk and with fresh water in reach.

Is entry possible for a Rishikesh dog?

Entries are handled by Doon Valley Kennel Club, and the listing sets out no closing date, so find out whether any are still being taken. The mobile number to ring is shown on the event guide.

Rishikesh visitors: what to settle first

Which breed suits life in a river town like Rishikesh?

Think about walks, heat and daily routine before you fall for a coat or a colour. Read the breed guide for each dog you like and note its exercise needs, its grooming and how well it copes with warm weather.
