The designation Best in Show, awarded since 1907, is considered the highest distinction in American dog competition.
The WKC show is one of only a few benched dog shows in the United States; that is, each dog is required to be in its assigned space (bench) in an offstage area when it is not competing in the ring.
Every entrant to the WKC Dog Show must be a champion, a status it achieves by earning a minimum number of points in official AKC competitions.
In the early rounds of the competition, dogs compete within their breeds according to a formal breed standard.
The dogs judged to best represent their breeds are named Best of Breed and advance to compete against the other Best of Breeds within its judging group.
The seven group winners then compete for the title Best in Show.
The show, telecast annually since 1948, takes place over two days in February.
