National Purebred Dog Day is delighted to welcome a new sponsor in 2021, Leading Edge Dog Show Academy. They  are an online resource for purebred dog people to learn all about conformation dog shows and grooming. In their school, you will find courses on handling, grooming, training, and regular webinars on a variety of topics to help you and your purebred dogs become a winning team!

Leading Edge Dog Show Academy is also offering a 35% off discount code for anyone (not just contest participants) to use until the end of day on May 1 @midnight PST. Use the code NPDD35 

The challenge: Your entry should illustrate to our judges, David Frei and Jack Grassa, what it is that makes your purebred dog true to their breed!  Show your breed’s unique temperament or character that demonstrates a defining feature of their breed. Is the breed known for its independence? Athleticism? Stubbornness?  Translate this into a creative photo, and you just might have the winning entry!

The prize: A lifetime subscription to Leading Edge Dog Show Academy‘s ‘Winner’s Circle: Full School Subscription”. This is an all-access pass to all of the Academy’s content; courses, webinars, and forum! (valued at $1250)

The Sponsor: Leading Edge Dog Show Academy, the world’s first on-demand online school for grooming, handling, and more!
