Conformation Dogs are judged against their breed standard description.  Dogs are first judged within their BREED.  Breed winners then compete in GROUP competition.  Group winners then compete to determine the dog which is ultimately named BEST IN SHOW for the day's competition.  The conformation shows are held in the main and lower levels of the Hall of Education.

Obedience In precise and stylized competition, dog and handler are judged to determine how flawlessly they can perform together to commands given by their judge.  The top scoring dog and handler are awarded the coveted HIGH IN TRIAL award.  Obedience competition is held daily on the upper level of the Hall of education.

Agility You've seen it on TV, and now here it is live and in person (and dog)!  Dogs running through tunnels, leaping over jumps, climbing A-frames, snaking through weave-poles, and racing over dog-walks.  Watch the agility competition daily at the Stock Show Events Center (the horse arena).
