About the upcoming AKC–Eukanuba National Championship (Dec 4-5)

The AKC–Eukanuba National Championship is an invitational dog show held at the end of the year.  This year it's at the Long Beach Convention Center (for the last time, sadly-- the show is moving to Florida after this).  As an invitational, the show is only open to dogs who qualify and who are invited by the AKC to compete at this "cream of the crop" show.  For details on what qualifies a dog to be invited to this show, click here.  So everyone who's allowed in to this show has been invited and has entered (the entry deadline was Nov. 3).

The AKC–Eukanuba National Championship will again offer the largest cash prizes in dog show history.
More than $225,000 will be awarded to the winners of the show.  The breakdown of prize money is as follows:

Best in Show .....................................................$50,000
