About Onofrio Dog Show
An Onofrio Dog Show is an AKC licensed event put on by Jack Onofrio Dog Shows, an official American Kennel Club show superintendent like many others across the USA. The dog shows put on by this contractor are like any other in the country and follow the same AKC format and rules.
When contracted by a kennel club, it is the duty of the show superintendent to provide all materials needed to hold the dog show event, including ring supplies, show announcements, and entry forms. The Onofrio Dog Show superintendent is also responsible for transferring all records from the event to the AKC for preservation.
Online Entries
Onofrio Dog Shows maintains an online site that allows exhibitors the convenience of viewing premium lists and submitting dog show entries online. Imagine the difference between filling out an entry on your personal computer and paying instantly by credit card, and mailing your entries snail mail as in the past? In the old days it was possible to miss the show's entry deadline completely. Online entries have all but eliminated that possibility.

Dog owners are also given contact information to reach their elected officials and voice their opinions regarding these proposed changes to the law.
