NOVI, Mich. (WJBK) -
Featuring more than 7,000 dogs and 160 breeds, the Michigan Winter Dog Classic is Michigan's largest dog show.
The show will take place Jan. 17 - 20 at the Novi Suburban Collection Showplace.

Everyone who registers their dog will receive a T-shirt, bandana, one-year subscription to 'AKC Family Dog' magazine and other gifts.
Other family-friendly attractions include demonstrations, obedient and conformation judging and breed seminars.
