The Nordic kennel clubs work closely to develop dog shows across the region, creating common rules, coordinating judge education, and introducing new show formats like the Nordic Dog Show.
Nordic Dog Shows are prestigious shows, arranged only in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden. At each show you can win both national and Nordic Show certificate. Several Nordic Show Certificates from the Nordic countries can qualify your dog for the title Nordic Show Champion. The shows are open to all dog breeds recognized by NKU.
