dog shows are held all over the world and are known as conformation shows. There are many other competitions such as agility, obedience, hunting, tracking, and others. In conformation shows, individual dogs are judged by how well they represent their breed, and thus their ability to carry on the quality of the breed for future generations. Each dog is judged against their breed standard, which is a detailed description of the perfect dog for each breed. If the dog deviates from the Breed Standard in any way, she would receive a misdemeanor or a judge will take the points. Only purebred dogs are allowed in these competitions.

There are countless dog shows every year, some large and some small. Some programs are limited to one breed. For larger displays, different breeds are divided into 7 groups: sporting, hound, working, terrier, toy, non-sporting and breeding.
