Everything you need to know about tracking UK Kennel Club dog shows with Show Companion.
Show Companion is the all-in-one dog show tracker for the UK Kennel Club show world. Plan your season, find every show your dog is eligible for, and log every placing from VHC to Best in Show — with live rankings by breed, group or overall, and help from Barkley, our built-in AI show assistant.
It's also where you keep pedigree profiles, judge critiques and ratings, follow friends with Show Teams, browse the kennel and breed directory, and search live results nationwide. Available on iOS, Android and the web.
Every placing you log — from VHC through to Best in Show — earns points towards a live national ranking, viewable by breed, by group, or overall, with dogs and bitches ranked separately.
See how the leaderboard works →Yes. Show Companion tracks results from every UK Kennel Club licensed show — General Championship shows like Crufts and the Windsor Championship Dog Show, Premier Open Shows, and every Open and Limited show on the calendar. Show Companion is an independent companion app and is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Kennel Club, Crufts, or the Windsor Championship Dog Show Society.
Use the judges view to filter every upcoming show by breed and show type, and see exactly which judge is booked before you decide whether to enter.
See all the ways to plan your season →Yes. Judges can add critiques directly in the app, and exhibitors receive them the moment they're saved — no more waiting for a written critique to arrive weeks later.
A Show Team lets you and your ringside friends follow each other through a show — see who's attending, watch results appear as they happen, and share your own placings with the group.
Yes. Global search covers every dog, kennel, judge and show in Show Companion, so you can look up results, pedigrees and judging history from one search box.
Yes. Show Companion tracks Challenge Certificates, Reserve Challenge Certificates, Junior Warrant points and ShCEx points automatically as you log results, so you always know how close your dog is to a title.
Show Companion is available on iOS, Android and the web, so you can log results ringside on your phone and review your season on a larger screen at home.
Barkley is Show Companion’s built-in AI assistant. It reviews your recorded results and turns them into plain-English insight — where you’re strong, where you’re close to a title, and what a judge’s critique means for your next entry.
No — you can use Show Companion purely to track results you’ve already entered elsewhere, or use it to find eligible classes first and log every placing in one place.
No. Show Companion isn't a booking agent — we organise and improve your show world around the booking process, not replace it. Every show links straight through to its correct official booking agent, so you're never hunting for the right entry form, but all entries and payments are handled directly by that agent, not by us.
