The National Dog Show The Scottish Deerhound has won Best in Show at the 2020 National Dog Show. Claire the Scottish Deerhound beat out hundreds of dogs representing 168 breeds and varieties recognized by the American Kennel Club. First, she won the Hound Group in a field of 28 breeds. She then competed against the other six group winners before taking home the top honor. The English Springer Spaniel, winner of the Sporting Group, was named Reserve Best in Show. NBC televised the 2020 National Dog Show directly after the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade for the 19th straight year. Every year, more than 20 million people tune in for the event. The Kennel Club of Philadelphia Dog Show has been ongoing since 1879 with its only interruption being the Great Depression from 1928 through 1932. The show is held by The Kennel Club of Philadelphia, a founding club of AKC. It traditionally takes place on the third from last weekend in November over two days. In 2002, NBC Sports began televising the show on Thanksgiving Day and rebranded it as The National Dog Show.

The National Dog Show is one of the three major dog shows in the United States, along with the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship and the E Westminster Dog Show. Winners may be invited to compete at Crufts. As with all AKC conformation shows, mixed-breed dogs are not eligible to participate.

The NDS is one of the last six remaining benched dog shows in the United States.

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 caused the show to be held behind closed doors for the first time.

Television history The show is nationally televised (on tape delay) in the United States on NBC every Thanksgiving; the show airs after the network's coverage of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and airs at noon in all time zones except for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands which airs at 1 PM AST (due to NBC affiliates in these territories using the Eastern Time Zone feed). Actor John O'Hurley and American Kennel Club judge David Frei host, and the show's presenting sponsor is Nestlé Purina PetCare.
