Participants from 47 countries are coming to FCI World Challenge

Best dogs from the FCI member countries will compete for the FCI Top Dog 2025 title on Friday 8th August during World Dog Show 2025. Welcome to watch this great show!

The idea of FCI’s World Challenge is that the national kennel clubs select the dog to represent their country at the competition. All participating dogs will be splitted into three groups for pre-selection on a random basis. The top four dogs from each of the three groups will compete for the final. Each group will be judged by one judge and a fourth judge will designate the BIS. The Winner of the Final will be awarded the title FCI Top Dog 2025.
