Specialty shows are events limited to a single breed, such as the pug. There is no better place to learn about the pug than at a Specialty Show, in particular the national specialty (“the National”), which is held annually by the Pug Dog Club of America. It’s where dedicated pug breeders meet together year after year, sharing their knowledge and passion and bringing their best dogs to compete.
