The National Dog Show

Roughly 200 dog breeds are competing for Best in Show at the 2024 National Dog Show, airing on NBC.

Obviously all dogs are the best, but here's who can compete for the coveted title at the National Dog Show, presented by Purina. 

As many as 2,000 pups will compete for Best In Show at the 2024 National Dog Show.

From the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to the National Dog Show, the entertainment lineup will be just as full as your plate. 

It's going to be a very festive season on NBC, with everything from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to A Motown Christmas hitting your screens. 

John O'Hurley and David Frei return to host the telecast of the iconic canine competition held in Philadelphia—which, they tell NBC Insider, was first inspired by a classic comedy film about a dog show.
