August Classic Dog Show 2025
Why the name August Classic Dog Show?
The year was 2023 when nine breed clubs under the Kennel Union of Ghana — namely the Shih Tzu Club of Ghana, Dobermann Club of Ghana, Cane Corso Club of Ghana, German Shepherd Club of Ghana, Gun Dog Club made up of the American Cocker Spaniel and Labrador, Poodle Club of Ghana, Caucasian Shepherd Club of Ghana, Rottweiler Club of Ghana, and Bullmastiff Club of Ghana — came together under the leadership of the Kennel Union of Ghana to host a collaborative event: an all-breed and specialty dog show.
The event was named the August Classic Dog Show, a title that reflected both the month it was held and the prestige of the show, where dogs could earn their championship titles due to the presence of multiple rings and two distinct judges.
With a united front, the executives of the various breed clubs, alongside the national executives of the Kennel Union of Ghana, pooled their efforts and resources to successfully organize the maiden edition of the August Classic Dog Show, featuring two FCI judges — Dr. Chakkapan from Thailand and Michael Vorster from South Africa.
