The Economic Benefit of Dog Shows
A research project was undertaken by the American Kennel Club to assess the economic impact of dog shows on local communities. The goal was to determine how much money dog show participants spend locally while they are at a show. This document illustrates the positive relationship between an AKC dog event and the host community.
