This series consists of visual depictions, including scrapbooks, photographs, and video footage, of the DPCA's annual National Specialty shows.

Catalog pages, judge biographies, candid photographs, and information on the show location are included in some scrapbooks. There are several photo collages with candid photographs from events during the National Specialty show weekends in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Video footage depicts action in the show ring and may contain commentary.
