Dogs of all breeds and sizes come together for Asia’s biggest dog show.
Philippine Circuit
MANILA, Philippines — The Araneta Coliseum will once more host the Philippine Circuit, dubbed as Asia's biggest dog show, organized by the Philippine Canine Club Inc.
The 12th edition of the event will take place at the Big Dome from January 20 to 25.
Headlining this year's contest is the 2026 Federation Cynologique Internationale World Grooming Competition where dogs and their handlers from all over the world will demonstrate creative styling, breed-specific cuts, and technical ability.
Twelve (12) other All-Breed Championship Dog Shows will be held during the competition mediated by renowned international judges and featuring 7,440 entries across almost a hundred breeds.
Some of the breeds competing are Golden Retrievers, French Bulldogs, Pomeranians, and Pembroke Welsh Corgis.

Last year's edition — also held in the Big Dome graced by over 7,500 entries across 96 breeds — saw an American Cocker Spaniel deemed the Grand Champion.
A Borzoi and a Chow Chow claimed Best in Show, the latter breed in a competition for Philippine-born dogs. That edition also saw the debut of the National Grooming Team Competition.
Uniprom Inc. chief operating officer Irene L. Jose said in a statement that the Philippine Circuit is more than a competition, "It's the celebration of camaraderie between humans and dogs. This event is a gathering of the dog-loving community and their love for purebred dogs."
The Philippine Circuit also serves as a platform to teach people about dog grooming and its critical role in canine health and hygiene.
The Philippine Canine Club Inc. Groomers Certification conducts seminars to professionalize local dog groomers, ensuring they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to deliver high-quality services.
