Dog shows
The Nordic kennel clubs work closely together to develop dog showing in the Nordic countries. For example, common show regulations and qualifications have been created. The kennel clubs also cooperate when it comes to educating judges. And in 2018, a new dog show type, the Nordic Dog Show, was introduced.

The Nordic Kennel Union has created common Nordic dog show rules. These have been implemented in all five member-countries and are regularly overseen by the NKU.

Nordic Winner Show

The annual Nordic Winner Show, where dogs compete to win the coveted title Nordic Winner, is a highlight for many dog show enthusiasts. Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland take turns hosting the Nordic Winner Show, which is held at the same occasion as the Nordic Junior Handling Championships.
