Golden Triangle Kennel Club 2027: Everything You Need to Know

What is Golden Triangle Kennel Club of Mississippi 2027?

The Golden Triangle Kennel Club of Mississippi's January weekend is Mississippi's winter all-breed stop: three all-breed conformation shows, Friday through Sunday, at the MS Horse Park & Agricenter in Starkville. Foy Trent Dog Shows' calendar confirms Junior Showmanship, the AKC National Owner-Handled Series, and 4–6 Month Beginner Puppy at all three shows.

It's also a performance weekend: two rally trials run Saturday and an obedience trial runs Sunday, so obedience and rally exhibitors can make the same trip.

Why go

Conformation and performance under one roof: three all-breed shows with NOHS and beginner puppy, plus rally Saturday and obedience Sunday, make this an efficient weekend for multi-sport exhibitors. And it's Mississippi State country — the show veterinarian on call in 2026 was the MSU College of Veterinary Medicine's 24-hour emergency service.
