Champion dogs will come together in Long Beach, CA tomorrow to participate in the 9th annual AKC/Eukanuba National Championship. The event will feature over 5,000 dogs to compete for various titles and a chance to become this year’s “Best in Show.” Last year, a pointer named CH Cookieland Seasyde Hollyberry, or Holly, won the title.

The event is for two days, December 12 and 13th, and alongside the National Championship, dogs will also compete in the annual AKC Agility Invitationals and the AKC National Obedience Invitational.

To celebrate the American Kennel Club’s 125th anniversary, the club is allowing any AKC registered purebred, unaltered dog to compete.

Some other things to look forward to are the dogs from Meet the Breeds and the newest breeds: 10 Irish Red and White Setters, 6 Norwegian Buhund, and 15 Pyrenean Shepherds.

The show will be broadcasted on Animal Planet on February 6, 2010 at 8 PM ET/PT.
