Just 100 days remain before the start of the FCI World Dog Show in Helsinki. Event preparations are progressing with speed and the show's first entry will close on Monday 5 May. The event takes place at Helsinki's Expo & Convention Centre on 8-10 August 2014.

The FCI World Dog Show is the highpoint of the international dog show year. Dogs can be entered into the show at a lower price up to Monday 5 May. Entry closes completely on 9 July.

Dogs will be evaluated by 117 judges from 33 different countries at the FCI World Dog Show in Helsinki. 30 of the judges hail from Finland. Find out more about the event's judges on the FCI World Dog Show 2014 website, which includes a number of interesting introductory articles with photos of our judges.

Camper van parking in Järvenpää

Participants travelling in camper vans can stay overnight at the Vanhankylänniemi camping area in Järvenpää. A bus transport from the camping area to Messukeskus and back will be arranged during the dog show. Further information about the camping area is available on the event website.

The Finnish Kennel Club is proud to be organising this event, which is eagerly anticipated in Finland and abroad. Helsinki hosted the FCI World Dog Show also in 1998. That event proved to be a great success and it is still remembered fondly around the world.

The Finnish Kennel Club celebrates its 125th anniversary this year and next August's FCI World Dog Show is one of the many events that mark our jubilee year.

“The Finnish Kennel Club extends a warm welcome to all dog owners and spectators – this top event is not to be missed,” says Kari Järvinen, Chairman of the Exhibition Committee.
