What is this show?
The Kennel Club of Beverly Hills holds three all-breed AKC conformation shows — Friday through Sunday, January 22–24, 2027 — at the Ventura County Fairgrounds & Seaside Park. Despite the name, the club shows in Ventura: three days of all-breed judging on the beach, closing out the four-day Ventura cluster weekend that opens with the Great Western Terrier Association’s terrier shows on Thursday.
The weekend traditionally draws supported entries from the terrier breed clubs that show on Thursday — in 2026 the Cairn Terrier Club of Southern California supported entries across all three Beverly Hills days — so terrier majors stay in play all weekend.

Why go?
Three all-breed days on the beach in January. The Beverly Hills weekend is Southern California’s winter all-breed destination: deep Southern California entries plus travelers staying over from the terrier day, which keeps the majors realistic across all seven groups.
Four days, one setup. Pair it with Thursday’s Great Western Terrier shows at the same fairgrounds and you get four days of showing — terrier day plus three all-breed days — without moving your setup.
Ventura in January. Beachfront fairgrounds, mild winter weather, and a show site minutes from the 101 — the logistics are as easy as the showing is competitive.
