The American Kennel Club's all-breed shows are just what they sound like: More than 3,000 dogs may be entered in a given show, and the range of breeds -- often upwards of 150 -- is impressive. The AKC's regional winter event also includes agility competition. Whether you're a serious breeder or have just seen "Best in Show" too many times, this veritable dogapalooza should be a delight.
