The Houston World Series of Dog Shows takes place in Houston, Texas at the state-of-the-art NRG Center.  It is a cluster show, meaning several separate shows held over consecutive days. Beginning Wednesday, visitors can enjoy watching the more than 30 independent breed specialty competitions, as well as the Houston Area Hound and Houston All-Terrier shows. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday offer all-breed shows, each culminating with a “Best in Show” winner, chosen from finalists among the seven variety groups with more than 150 different breeds represented. Interspersed amongst the all-breed shows, various area clubs will be holding breed specialty competitions. As a dog show cluster, our mission is to enhance the public’s knowledge about purebred dogs.  We are proud to offer the popular “Meet the Breeds” event where the public can get hands-on experience with more than 110 breeds and discuss their care, needs, traits, and temperaments, as well as their advantages and disadvantages with breed experts. Throughout the five-day event, the Series offers many attractions, including an extensive shopping venue, numerous seminars, entertainment exhibitions and obedience/companion events.
