Canines are set to take center stage at the biggest dog show in Asia — the Philippine Circuit 2026 — on January 21-26, 2026 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Now in its 12th year, the Philippine Circuit is organized by the Philippine Canine Club Inc. (PCCI), a non-stock and non-profit organization dedicated to promoting love and compassion for purebred dogs. The event demonstrates PCCI’s commitment to propelling the canine experience onto the global stage. This year’s spectacle will be headlined by the 2026 Federation Cynologique Internationale (FCI) World Grooming Competition which will highlight the skill and artistry in dog grooming. Dogs and dog handlers from across the globe will showcase creative styling, breed-specific cuts, and technical ability.
Alongside this contest, there will be 12 All-Breed Championship Dog Shows, mediated by renowned international judges to ensure fair and healthy competition. With 7,440 entries representing 91 breeds, the Philippine Circuit 2026 continues to showcase the diversity of breeds and their unique qualities. Dog lovers will witness lovable Pembroke Welsh Corgis, charming French Bulldogs, fluffy Pomeranians, friendly Golden Retrievers, and more skipping around the Smart Araneta Coliseum with glee, together with their proud handlers. Last year, an American Cocker Spaniel earned the title of Grand Champion, impressing judges with its sophistication. A Borzoi claimed Best in Show, while a Chow Chow was awarded Best in Show for Philippine-born dogs, highlighting the expertise and dedication of local breeders. “The Philippine Circuit is more than a competition. It’s the celebration of camaraderie between humans and dogs. This event is a gathering of the dog-loving community and their love for purebred dogs,” said Uniprom Inc. Chief Operating Officer Irene L. Jose.
The event also aims to educate people about dog grooming and its critical role in canine health and hygiene. Dog grooming is essential in controlling parasites, fleas, and other infections. It also helps in the early detection of lumps, bumps, and other health problems. More than its aesthetic function, dog grooming is imperative for canines’ overall well-being. PCCI Groomers Certification conducts seminars to professionalize dog groomers in the Philippines, ensuring they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to deliver high-quality services. PCCI is also a member of the FCI, an international organization of registering bodies based in Brussels, Belgium, and the only FCI-accredited registering body in the Philippines for purebred dogs.
