All Breed DOG shows are the most common type of DOG show, and most fun to attend, where dozens, if not hundreds of DOGS are shown, eliminated or prized until an award is usually given for Best of Show, or Best of Breed. Boxer shows can offer male-only or female-only shows, as well as Puppy Class shows, which will show puppies in the 6-9 month, 9-12 month and 12-18 month age groups. Novice boxer shows are held for boxers that have never been awarded any ribbons, while an American Bred boxer show will only accept boxers whelped in America. Open Class shows are events that bring thousands of spectators every year.

Other sources of boxer show information may also come from local veterinary offices. Another location where boxer shows may be advertised is local pet stores, especially the large, national chains such as Pets Mart, who may even sponsor such events on a local level.
