Our own Keith Bailey is honored to be 1 of 3 nominees for Breeder of the Year. The winner is determined by who gets the most votes, hence she would love for all of our members and their friends and families to vote. The award is announced at the Show Dogs of the Year Awards evening affair in NYC on Jan 31, 2026.

The Show Dogs Of The Year Awards honors the top 7 Group Winners and recognizes the pinnacle of conformation, the Best In Show winner. Beyond the show ring, they celebrate the rising stars with our Top Junior Handler and honor exceptional performance in Agility, Rally and Obedience. They also pay tribute to the foundational pillars of the sport: the top owner, top breeder, and top handler of the year.
