More than 1,000 of the nation’s most elite dogs will descend on Tulsa this weekend for the Mid-Continent Kennel Club of Tulsa’s annual All-Breed Dog Show, a three-day celebration of canine competition and charisma.

This beloved national event April 25–27 at the SageNet Center at Expo Square, is an American Kennel Club (AKC) sanctioned gathering that draws top dogs—and their handlers—from more than 20 states, competing for coveted titles in conformation, speed, strength, and showmanship.

Admission is free and open to the public. Invite friends, this will be fun.

“This is more than a dog show—it’s a celebration of heritage, purpose, and the human animal bond,” said Stephanie Garrett, show chair. “Visitors will see everything from powerful Great Danes to tiny Toy breeds, high-flying dock diving dogs, and Junior Handlers preparing for the national stage. It’s an unforgettable experience for all ages.”
