Three Types Of Dog Shows - continues

The third type of dog show are the Specialty Shows; these shows are for a specific AKC recognized breed.  The Specialty Shows are held by individual breed clubs.  The national breed club, state breed clubs, or an area breed club (ex. northwest) host specialty shows.  In some states where there are more than one club for a specific breed, a cluster of specialty shows may be offered.  Sometimes specialty shows are held in conjunction with an all breed show;  in hard economic times many specialty clubs do this as it saves the club money.

At the specialty shows more dogs for a specific breed are entered than at most all breed events. Exhibitors like the specialty shows because the competition usually allows for major points to be awarded to the winners.   At many of the all breed shows there are not enough dogs entered for a specific breed; so only minor points are  awarded.
