World Dog Show Italy 2026

GO GO ITALIA!!!! OUR DOGS have just received the following announcement from the WDS TEAM in Italy...WDS 2026, the first deadline is already a success!

With around 14,000 entries, the first deadline of the World Dog Show 2026, the most important dog show of the year, which will take place at Bologna Fiere from June 3rd to 7th, has concluded.

The number of entries for the first deadline, across the various events of the show, mirrors that of 2015, when Italy last hosted the World Dog Show with great success. The goal of repeating the numbers and the experience of 2015 is therefore not just a dream. The organizational team is working diligently to provide adequate services for those attending, and Italian dog lovers, as always, are responding in the best way possible. 

On behalf of the Board of Directors, a first thank you goes to the foreign Kennel Clubs, the Breed Clubs, and the Territorial Groups who, in their various capacities, are promoting the event. The passion of each individual breeder is doing the rest.

Considering the number of dogs that will be registered and the prestige of the 230 expert judges invited, it will certainly be an exhibition of the highest technical level, but not only that. The World Dog Show 2026 will represent a great opportunity for every breeder to engage in comparison and to strengthen their experience, thanks to the dogs present, the result of the best selection, the focus on animal welfare as a non-negotiable value, and the presence of the best commercial entities showcasing their top products and services for the pet world. 

The second deadline date is scheduled for March 2. On the dedicated communication channels, you will find all the useful information.
