2024 National Dog Show: See the winners from this year’s competition

In addition to parades, food and football, another Thanksgiving Day tradition is the National Dog Show in Philadelphia.

For the 92nd consecutive year, breeds of all kinds are gathering to compete for the coveted title of Best in Show and the grand prize of $20,000 that comes with it. Before they can earn that title though, they must first compete with dogs of their own breed for Best in Breed.

Longtime hosts John O’Hurley and David Frei reprise their roles on NBC’s television coverage of the event from the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks, Pennsylvania. (The competition is also available on NBC’s Peacock streaming service.)

The Lancashire Heeler, which has been recognized as an official breed in the United Kingdom since 1981, joined the AKC’s official list of dog breeds at the beginning of 2024, and the breed will make its National Dog Show debut this Thursday, as part of the Herding Group.
