How to Enter
Upload your dog’s photo into the American Kennel Club Group his or her breed belongs to – or into the mixed breed contest if you own a lovable mutt. Each Group contest page has a link to learn more about the breeds in that Group. Then, spread the word about your entry and ask your friends to vote for your dog.
Dogs may only be entered once in the contest. Multiple entries will be disqualified.
Contest voting ends April 14 at 12 a.m. EST.
The dog with the most votes in each Group will be named Group winner, and the dog with the most votes overall will be named Best in Show. The Group and Best in Show winners will be announced on DogChannel. Each Group winner will receive 500 points to use toward Club Dog Rewards items. The Best in Show winner will receive 1,000 points and the title of “DogChannel’s Best in Show.”
