2016 National Dog Show

Skye Terrier “Charlie”
2015 Best in Show Winner
National Dog Show

Did you get to check out the 2016 National Dog Show today? Each year following the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on NBC, the National Dog Show airs and the country’s top dogs take to the ring to show off their stuff. Hosted by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, the show marked its 15th anniversary in 2016, cementing itself as an official can’t-miss Thanksgiving tradition. In the words of John O’Hurley, the program’s host, the National Dog Show has “become an extraordinary family tradition on the greatest family day of the year.”

Last year’s Grand Champion was none other than “Good Time” Charlie, the Skye Terrier who trotted his way into the hearts of the judges. It’s not easy winning the treasured Best in Show award at the end of a long day of grooming, preliminaries, and group rounds. The judges of the competition are looking at the dog that best exemplifies what is known as the breed standard based on bone structure, shape, movement, temperament, and condition.
