CONFORMATION |

Cudahy Kennel Club holds an All-Breed Dog Show each August on a designated Friday and Saturday in conjunction with the Greater Racine Kennel Club who holds their show Sunday and Monday, for a combined joint 4 day AKC conformation show held in Franksville, WI.
What is an All-Breed Dog Show?
According to the American Kennel Club, "[T]he official term for dog shows is conformation — as in, the act of conforming or producing conformity. While a dog show may look like a beauty pageant, it’s not. Dogs are not being compared to each other; they’re being measured by how closely they conform to the standard of their particular breed. Why? Because the closer a dog’s appearance is to the breed’s standard, the better that dog’s ability will be to produce puppies that meet the standard. It’s also the reason why mixed breeds and spayed or neutered purebreds are ineligible to compete in conformation."
