Dear exhibitors, fans of junior handling in Slovakia!
You already know that Nitradog shows are different. In addition to many other elements, they also stand out from other Slovak dog shows by hosting the top event of the Junior Handling competition.
On 21/12/2025 (Sunday), the final ring will belong to the ten most successful Junior Handlers of the year 2025. The Nitradog Christmas Cup will host the Junior Handling National Finals 2025, from which representatives of Slovakia will be selected for Cruft’s, the World Dog Show, and the European Dog Show (FCI).
We will announce this year’s TOP 10 soon, as well as the name of the judge. 🙂
This year, we are preparing a special series of medals for Toy Handling – a different one for every show day.
And the best part? Even if they compete on all days, they will never receive the same medal twice. Each day brings a unique keepsake, a smile, and motivation to keep going.
And there’s more: Senior Handling will also take place. By entering Senior Handling, you directly support the Toy Handling activity and help us create opportunities for our youngest participants. (You can already register here: https://bit.ly/44coY6e )

GREAT NEWS FOR OWNERS OF CROPPED DOGS! The Slovak Kennel Club (SKJ) has issued Circular No. 16/2025, announcing that the FCI is lifting the ban on showing cropped breeds in countries where it is not forbidden, Slovakia included — with immediate effect.
What does this mean? The Nitradog Christmas Cup will be the first dog shows in Slovakia where cropped and/or docked dogs from the following 11 breeds can once again be shown and judged:
• Boxer • Miniature Schnauzer • Standard Schnauzer • Giant Schnauzer • Cane Corso • Dobermann • Miniature Pinscher • Neapolitan Mastiff • Great Dane • Pinscher • Rottweiler
This measure is based on the decision of the FCI General Assembly in Helsinki (6 August 2025), which reinstates and expands the validity of FCI Circular 8/2016.
Cropped dogs can once again proudly step into the show ring! And we are truly excited to welcome them at Nitradog in just a few weeks.
