2026 TOP TWENTY CANDIDATES ONLY
Congratulations on your Top Twenty achievement! This year we are including the Top Twenty Siberians of 2025 (Breed AND All-Breed Standings) as well as the Top Ten Owner-Handled Siberians based on official AKC records. Previous Top Twenty Winners are not eligible to compete.
The Top Twenty Gala will be held in conjunction with the 2026 SHCA National Specialty in Newark, Ohio on Wednesday, October 28 at 7:00 pm. In keeping with the time of year, we are planning a formal “Masquerade in Monte Carlo” casino-themed event. Hands-On judging will be done earlier that day (time and on-site location to be announced). There will be a panel of three judges – a breeder-judge, a handler-judge with extensive breed experience, and a working group judge. In addition to the Top Twenty winner, a People’s Choice winner and Best-Owner Handled winner will also be awarded; all will be announced at the conclusion of the event.
The entry fee is $125, and entries will close on September 1, 2026.
Each entry will receive two tickets to the event (handler & guest), one “people’s choice” ballot, a personalized rosette, commemorative catalog and a custom 11 x 14 watercolor canvas print of your dog with photo of your choosing.
For entry I will need:
Your dog’s registered name and all owners’ names
All titles you would like included on the rosette
Up to two high-resolution photos (candid or professional head shot, ringside candid, movement photo or win photo) for catalog and canvas print
3-generation pedigree
Short bio of your dog’s show career
Music you would like played during your dog’s time in the ring (song title and artist). Music should be two minutes or less and may be custom cut and sent in mp3 format if preferred.
Please e-mail these items to me at klshanerSHCA@gmail.com by September 1, 2026
Entry fees must be received no later than September 1 and may be paid online at the SHCA store, or a check can be mailed to Delinda Davis, P.O. Box 815, Ashville, AL 35953. Dogs will not be considered entered until fees are paid.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at klshanerSHCA@gmail.com or (913)575-9475 (call or text). Again, congratulations on your achievement. We look forward to seeing you in October!
