Meet the Breeds

Siberian Huskies & Alaskan Malamutes

Have you ever wanted to meet a Siberian Husky? We’re pleased to welcome the Saints Sled Dog Rescue to our Norfolk show, where you’ll be able to get up close to the beautiful dogs and learn about their backgrounds. The team will also be performing in the Main Arena at intervals across the weekend.

Nihon Ken

Come and see the Association of Nihon-Ken at our Norfolk show. Learn about the six native Japanese breeds all designated as ‘Natural Living Monuments’ of Japan – the Akita Inu, Hokkaido Ken, Kai Ken, Kishu Ken, Shiba Inu and Shikoku Ken. Meet some of these wonderful dogs and learn what it’s like to share your home and sofa with one of the Nihon Ken breeds.

Italian Cane Corso

Come and visit the ICCGB’s Breed Stand where you can learn about all aspects of the breed, from its history and health, to training and exciting initiatives and events the Breed Club have for 2026.

The ICCGB is the official Breed club of the Italian Cane Corso within Great Britain. The ICCGB is committed to educating owners, breeders, and allied professionals to ensure the preservation and protection of the Cane Corso breed, both now and for future generations. 

The Cane Corso is a breed with a rich heritage, known for their strength, loyalty, and intelligence. These dogs were originally used as guard dogs, farm dogs and hunters. Today, they excel in various disciplines and are known for being loyal companions and beloved family dogs. With their muscular build, commanding presence, and sharp intellect, the Cane Corso is a breed that commands both respect and admiration. 

Irish Terriers

We’re delighted to welcome the Southern Irish Terrier Society to the All About Dogs Show Norfolk 2026. Come and meet this very intelligent breed and speak to the society to learn about the breed’s history – did you know they were used extensively in the first World War, where they picked up the nickname of “dare devil”?

Records have sadly shown a decline in popularity in the breed with the Kennel Club now listing them as a “vulnerable native breed” with just 308 puppies registered last year.

Irish Terriers are known for being a very intelligent breed, and because they were bred as all purpose dogs, they can still be trained to do anything, obedience, agility, canicross, flyball, gundogs (for a terrier they have surprisingly soft mouths), they are wonderful with children and are great family pets.  Whatever they do and however hard they work, at the end of the day, an Irish Terrier will still be curled up with their owners on the settee, living the best life for a loyal and loving dog.
