Your show-day schedule, saved by date. ★ Favorite breeds follow you to every show; ▶ showing today is just this day’s working list — the dogs you actually have ringside.
The 2027 judging programs haven’t been released yet — ring times, rings, and judges are still pending. When the programs publish (usually about two weeks before the shows), this section becomes a live ring card seeded from the official programs. Check back after entries close.
Ring times come only from the official judging programs — never from the premium list or from AKC Event Search. Anything marked not yet published is genuinely unknown, not an omission.
Search any breed to see which judge has it at each of the shows. Pending
The 2027 judge panel has not been released. Breed-level judges will be extracted into this finder once verified against the official premium. We never publish breed judges until they’re reviewed.
(p) = permit/provisional. When panels publish, they’ll be shown exactly as listed by the superintendent.
