The Leeds Championship dog show is an annual event organised by the Leeds City and District Canine Association held under Royal Kennel Club Limited rules and is a qualifier for Crufts.

The first Leeds show was held in 1951 at Roundhay Park in the Shadwell district of Leeds, West Yorkshire.

In the early 1970s the show moved to the picturesque Temple Newsam, also in Leeds, and stayed there until 1982 when it moved to its current home at the beautiful Harewood House.

Due to the continued success of the show, it was extended to 2 days when it moved to Harewood House.  After many years of being a 3 day event attracting entries of up to 9,000 dogs Leeds Championship Dog Show was classed by the Royal Kennel Club as an All Breed Championship Show in recent years.  In 2025 the show will extend to being a 4 day show.

Today, Leeds Championship show is one of the premier events for dog exhibitors across the UK and overseas and attracting visitors from all four corners of the world every year.
