Best In Show

Animal Planet gives viewers front-row seats to the planet’s greatest dog show, the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship, where more than 150 breeds of the world’s most competitive and coiffed canines come together to vie for the coveted “Best in Show” title. Hosted by former Entertainment Tonight personalities, Bob Goen and Leanza Cornett, the sixth annual AKC/Eukanuba National Championship provides in-depth competition coverage and behind-the-scenes features about the owners, breeders, trainers and handlers.

Live for the third consecutive year, Animal Planet broadcasts this renowned international event, which returns to the Long Beach Convention Center, in Long Beach, Calif., after its two-year run in Tampa, Fla. The televised event begins at 8 p.m. (ET) on both Saturday, December 2, and Sunday, December 3, and is simulcast on the Discovery Channel.
