Obedience Trials (Sunday, 8am-8pm) demonstrate the dog's ability to follow specified routines usually 10-20 stations. All contestants perform the same exercises, which a judge compares for accuracy and scores.
Rally Trials (Saturday, 8am-5pm) similar to obedience but scoring is not as rigorous.
Conformation Shows (Friday-Monday, 8am-8pm) evaluate dogs on how they conform to breed standards.
All-Breed (Sunday, 8am-5pm & Monday, 8am-8pm, Group judging, 2pm) Conformation show open to AKC recognized dog breeds. Dogs, who win their breed, compete for group placements. The winning dog from each group competes for Best of Show.
Specialty Shows (Friday-Saturday, 8am) Conformation show sponsored by a particular breed or parent club.
Junior Showmanship (Sunday-Monday) for children 9 to 18 years old, rather than judging the dog, juniors are judged on how well they present their dog to the judge. Junior Showmanship occurs during the All-breed Show.
