2026

National specialty

The most recent national specialty was Sunday, October 4, 2026, at the Montgomery County Kennel Club show in Macungie, Pennsylvania — the club’s 315th specialty show, judged by Ms. Molli Nyman of Finland, with sweepstakes judged by Mr. D. Andrew Green. Best of Breed went to GCHG CH Aimhi Side Bet — “Wager” — who went on to place third in the Terrier Group under Ms. Pamela Bruce. (Sources: the official Montgomery premium list; AKC event results.)

The year’s other national specialty, the roving national, was Saturday, March 14, 2026, at the Evansville Kennel Club show in Louisville, Kentucky, judged by Mr. James A. Moses.

No Smooth entry count from the official Montgomery judging program is published here — the program is no longer hosted by the superintendent, and no text-accessible copy could be verified.

Best of Opposite Sex, Winners Dog, and Winners Bitch from the 2026 Montgomery specialty had not been published in an official source as of November 2026 and will be added here when they are.
