AKC All-breed Conformation Shows 
The Harrisburg Kennel Club (HKC) is an American Kennel Club (AKC) licensed member club, approved to hold AKC all-breed conformation shows, along with other events.    

We hold two conformation all-breed dog shows each year in April as part of the FIVE-DAY Blue & Gray Cluster.

Each day will feature an AKC sanctioned all-breed dog show with 201 different AKC breeds of dogs competing in conformation competition. Conformation judging is based on the dog’s appearance as to how well the judge feels each individual dog fits the standard, (description), for its breed.  

The cluster is held at the PA Farm Show Complex,
Giant Expo Hall, 2300 N. Cameron Street, Harrisburg, PA.
Our Harrisburg KC shows are held on the Wednesday and Saturday during this cluster.  

In addition to the AKC all-breed conformation competitions offered during this five-day cluster, we also offer:
AKC National Owner-Handled Series
AKC 4-6 Month All-breed Puppy Competitions
10 FSS Open Shows
Junior Showmanship Competitions
Pee Wee Events
AKC Canine Good Citizen & AKC Trick Dog Testing

A portion of the proceeds from these events are donated to local and national canine-related charities, as well as AKC charities.

SHOP for YOU or your DOG at our shows! 
Please come to shows to shop at our wonderful variety of vendors for you or your dog. Everything from jewelry, artwork, dog health supplements, collars and leashes, shampoos, dog brushes and combs, biscuits and bones, crate blankets, and more.  Something for everyone!
