About
The Golden Gate Kennel Club Show ranks as one of the most prestigious in the nation. With a history dating back over 100 years, the event is one of the few remaining benched dog events in the country.
A benched show means that all exhibiting dogs will be showcased together with all other dogs of the same breed. A rare opportunity to see hundreds of breeds all under one roof!
