Why ShowPoints Exists
Built by exhibitors who wanted a better way to navigate dog show weekends.
Plan Your Dog Show Weekends With Confidence
Dog show information is scattered! Premium lists, judging programs, entry sites, notes, screenshots, bookmarks, it all lives in different places.
Other tools
- Event details, judges, and entries require digging through documents
- Judge assignments aren’t easy to search by breed, group, or show
- Past entries require separate lookup to gauge competition
- No built-in way to track your dogs or results over time
- No alerts for judges, entries, or closing dates
- Notes, photos, and show plans live in different places
- Planning a weekend means jumping between tools
- See events alongside judges, entries, and key details
- Search judge assignments by breed, group, or show
- View last year’s entries to gauge competition
- Track wins and build your dogs’ virtual ribbon rack
- Get alerts for judges, entries, and deadlines
- Keep notes, photos, and plans tied to each show
- Everything in one place, in a true mobile app
Meet the Founder
ShowPoints was created by Matthew G. Stroud, an active owner-handler and lifelong communications professional who wanted to make showing dogs simpler for everyone.
After years of juggling entry sites, judging programs, and closing dates while showing multiple Schipperkes, Matthew saw the need for one streamlined place to stay organized. That’s why he built ShowPoints — an easy, exhibitor-first app that helps you plan weekends, manage your dogs, and stay on top of entries without the stress.
The app is shaped by feedback from exhibitors across the country because, like you, we believe in the community, the competition, and the joy of seeing great dogs shine.
Everything you need to compete smarter, all in one place
Track your dogs, get judging and entry alerts, and keep everything organized, all from your phone.

I love the entry alerts. I don't miss closing dates anymore, and it's all right on my phone.

Finally, something built by people who actually show dogs. I used to have eight tabs open just to find info. Now I just open ShowPoints.

ShowPoints saved the day. I almost missed the judging program, and the alert caught it.
