Many New Hampshire dogs shows include outdoor agility courses.
There are several well-known national dog shows such as the Westminster Kennel Club's annual show or the American Kennel Club/Eukanuba National Championship. These events are televised across the United States and capture the hearts of many dog-lovers. Show dogs just getting a start in the arena should consider local events. Local kennel clubs often hold regional or state-wide dog shows. There are several dog shows held throughout in New Hampshire.
