The 2025 National Dog Show , hosted by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia, featured 201 breeds competing in this year's event. This show has been a Thanksgiving Day tradition since 1933 and has crowned a new champion.

The event, founded in 1879, features only purebred dogs registered with the American Kennel Club competing across seven groups: herding, hound, non-sporting, sporting, terrier, toy, and working. The winners from each group then vied for the coveted Best in Show title.

The 2024 Best in Show was a pug from North Carolina named Vito. But in 2025, Soleil, the Belgian Sheepdog from the herding group, took home the prestigious title.
