Here’s all you need to know about the National Dog Show this Thanksgiving Day:
What is the National Dog Show?
Every year on Thanksgiving, the American Kennel Club and the Kennel Club of Philadelphia sanction the National Dog Show, an all-breed benched conformation show that has been broadcast on NBC since 2002.
The fourth Thursday in November, which falls on November 24, is when the National Dog Show is set to be broadcasted. Every year, more than 200 dog breeds compete in the show, which represents over half of all dog varieties worldwide. It is a benched two-hour presentation that is packed with footage from the actual event. Breeders may converse with the owners and get a close-up view of the dogs, thanks to this. The degree to which the dogs’ look, structure, movement, and temperament match the standards for their breed is used to evaluate them.
When Does the Show Air?
On Thanksgiving Day, immediately following the Macy’s Day Parade and beginning in all time zones at noon, NBC airs The National Dog Show.
Every Thanksgiving, the program airs on NBC nationally (on tape delay), following the network’s coverage of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. It airs at noon in all time zones, with the exception of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, where it airs at 1 PM AST (due to NBC affiliates in these territories using the Eastern Time Zone feed).
Where Can I Watch the Show?
NBC will be airing the National Dog Show 2022. NBC’s website and other streaming services like Hulu Live and YouTube TV also offer access to it. The NBC app with live commentary is supported on a variety of mobile and connected devices, including Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Fire.
