New to dog shows? Click here to learn what dog shows are all about... Since the 1920’s, the First Company Governor’s Foot Guard Athletic Association has sponsored, with a small number of exceptions, an annual AKC sanctioned dog show. The current format of the show is All Breed, Obedience and Junior Showmanship (AB/O/JSHW). Dogs entered in our show compete for championship points. We generally have around 1200 dogs entered in our show representing all seven groups (Sporting, Hound, Working, Terrier, Toy, Non-Sporting and Herding) and representing about 140 different breeds. These entrants come from all over the United States and Canada. Our dog show superintendent is MB-F, Inc. of Greensboro, NC, one of the premier dog show producers and managers in the United States. Some of the proceeds of our dog show are used to fund two scholarships that are given to pre-veterinary students at the University of Connecticut; one attending the School of Agriculture and one attending the School of Natural Resources. In the past, in addition to our AKC sanctioned show, we used to hold a match dog show. Due to situations beyond our control, we no longer hold our match show. Instead, in conjunction with the Hartford Obedience Training Club, we sponsor Canine Good Citizen exams. We have not settled on a regular date for this event but if you are interested in attending or having your dog tested, please check back to our site. We'll publish the date of our next CGC exam date as soon as it is set. Learn more about the AKC Canine Good Citizen program Questions or comments? Contact us at |
