May 1, 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of National Purebred Dog Day’s official recognition by the State of Colorado. Since its acknowledgment, the states of Georgia, Connecticut, Maine and West Virginia have followed suit, and we think this is a pretty big deal for the only day that celebrates the contributions, heritage, and diversity of the purebred dog.
The contest will be judged by renowned figures in the dog world, David Frei, host of the televised National Dog Show, and Jack Grassa, veteran photographer for the Westminster KC Dog Show.
