The website for the World Dog Show 2025 has been published

Thousands of dogs, exhibitors and visitors from all over the world are expected to arrive at the show in Messukeskus, the Expo and Convention Centre in Helsinki. In addition to the World Dog Show 2025, several specialty shows for different dog breeds will be arranged at Messuhalli on Thursday, 7 August 2025.

The website for the show is at www.wds2025.fi. At first, general information on the show, the Messukeskus venue and Helsinki will be published on the website. August is a good month for travellers in Finland, and the show will hopefully invite visitors to get to know Helsinki as well as the rest of Finland when the summer is at its most beautiful.

Information on the show’s judges will be published in December 2023 in connection to Dog Fair Finland. Registration for the show will open later.
