About
Belfast Championship Dog Show returns to the Eikon Exhibition Centre on 27th & 28th September 2025.
Since its early days, the Belfast Dog Show Society, founded in 1880, has become one of the most esteemed dog show hosts in the UK & Ireland. Today, this show stands as the largest championship dog show in Ireland, the only All-Breed Championship under Kennel Club rules, and a coveted qualifier for Crufts
The 2024 show drew over 2,200 dogs across more than 170 breeds, judged by renowned experts from around the globe. The arena buzzed with agility and obedience —coupled with a vibrant array of trade stands.
Expect an even grander spectacle in 2025:
• Over 2,000 entries
• Exciting competitions
• Trade stands galore – everything from dog leads and cozy beds to nutritious treats and grooming must-haves
• Family-friendly fun—meet the breeds, chat with experts, and discover your perfect furry match
Trade stand applications are open—but only until 31st August 2025! It’s your opportunity to showcase your products to a ready-made audience of dog lovers, breeders, and eager buyers. Don’t let this window close on you!
The show is perfect for families researching the right breed of dog for them, and visitors will be able to meet the dogs themselves as well as talk to experts in each breed about what to expect from the breed, training and care requirements.
We welcome the public to the show but ONLY DOGS ENTERED may be at the venue during the event.
