UKC exhibitors have always been passionate about pursing multiple interests with their dogs. In 1994, Premier was an answer to that, and true to UKC form, a conformation show alone was not enough. As we all know, Premier is an event where dogs can participate in a multitude of events on the same weekend. The first Premier offered conformation and obedience. The show received overwhelming interest, and an annual event was born. Agility was added for year two, and we have grown from there. This weekend, Premier offers at least eight performance events, conformation, the Top Ten/All Star invitationals, and the Total Dog Competition, just to name a few.
Premier has moved a few times in its 25-year history, from Detroit the first year to Berrien Springs, and even later Richmond, Indiana, but Kalamazoo is by far our best and most longstanding location.
Spectators are welcome. Admission is free, and parking is just $5/carload. We love all dogs, but we do ask spectators to leave their dogs at home as only dogs entered to compete are allowed on the event grounds. Questions? Learn more.
Whether its your first time or your 25th, welcome to Premier!
