NPPA Open Show information

The show

We hold an Open Show every year, usually in May. It's open to all Portuguese Podengos irrespective of whether or not you're an Association member. But it's more than a show: it's also a great opportunity for anyone interested in the breed or thinking about getting in to showing to come along, meet some fellow owners and find out more about the breed. And if you're an existing member, it's a great opportunity to catch up with old friends - two and four legged! You'll find more information and photos from individual shows in the "Events" section of the site. In the meantime, here's a list of all the Best in Show (BiS) and Best Puppy in Show (BP) winners, with Best Veteran in Show (BV) from 2022.
