All programming is 100% canine related, family-friendly and includes shows from around the world as well as original programming, movies and special live events involving dog shows and agility competitions.

“We are beyond excited to partner with FidoTV on this new endeavor,” said Ron Menaker, Chairman of The American Kennel Club. “This channel is unique and offers dedicated programming that will appeal to the large demographics of dog owners and dog lovers everywhere.
