This year the event will feature 205 breeds and varieties, as over 2,000 of the top American Kennel Club sanctioned dogs compete from across the country.

HOUSTON – The national stage was no problem for Laura McIngvale Brown’s dog, Chester. Chester, an 11-pound Affenpinscher that is also known as Monkey like Terriers, won the Toy Group competition at The National Dog show in Philadelphia earlier this month. “The National Dog show is the second largest show in the United States and that second longest-running,” said Laura McIngvale Brown. Chester was a Christmas gift from Laura’s parents Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale and Linda McIngvale. Laura tells KPRC Chester has a few more competitions this year but his biggest one will be next year in the Spring of 2021 when he competes in the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.
