Time to Take a Bow

Thank you for your interest in the first-ever International Heart Classic Virtual Dog Show! The International Heart Classic was designed to provide a safe and fun way to compete and stay active within the competitive dog show community. This year’s show received entries from around the country and raised valuable resources to support the mission of the American Heart Association.

The International Heart Classic is part of the Healthy Bond for Life initiative, which encourages the bond between people and pets for better health and well-being and longer lives. Pets can help you get more exercise, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, cut stress and boost happiness. With stress more prevalent than ever, now is a perfect time to celebrate all that our dogs (and other pets) do for us!

*5% of entry fees from the International Heart Classic Virtual Dog Show held July 2020 will be donated to the AKC Canine Health Foundation, up to a maximum of $5,000.
