As we come to the end of 2024, we look back on the magnificent dog shows held across Europe and North America. We believe that the upcoming year, 2025, will also be filled with numerous exhibitions, seminars, and conferences that will delight all dog enthusiasts.

We are especially looking forward to new events dedicated to the Presa Canario breed, such as the “Presa Canario Monographico 2025,” which will be held for the first time in Belgrade in February 2025. We will be writing about this and many other dog shows in the coming period.

Here are some of the most significant dog shows taking place in Europe and North America in the first quarter of 2025, along with basic information about each event:
