Today’s Ring Card

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.

How it works

Pick a day, add the breeds you’re following, and the card builds your schedule from the official judging programs. Enter the number of dogs judged before your breed in each ring and the card estimates your actual ring time (2 minutes per dog) and when to be ringside (15 minutes earlier). Anything saved here lives in this browser — permanent favorites will sync to your account later.

Ring times from the official judging programs (Foy Trent Dog Shows). A listed start time applies to the ring’s first breed of the block, not necessarily to yours — the 2-minutes-per-dog estimate is a working guess, never exact.

04

Breed judge finder

24 verified Best in Show and Variety Group assignments from the 2026 premium list. Listing reviewed
