National King Show at Oklahoma City January 16-18 News and Results
(Jan. 2025) The AKC's 2024 National King Show was held in conjunction with the NPA's Grand National Show January 16-18, 2025, located at the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds. Approximately 200 Kings were exhibited. The champion king went to an AOC young cock exhibited by master breeder Dennis Rogers of Upland, Calif. This is Dennis' second national win in a row. Scott Groff of Conestoga, Penn., was the judge.
Congratulations to Dennis and all the champion winners, and a hearty thank you to all exhibitors and show king friends who attended. It was a very nice venue with lots of room. Next year's national will be held again at this facility. The AKC also conducted a live auction of kings contributed by the exhibitors right after final judging on Friday, January 17. More pictures of the national and top four kings provided below. The AKC March bulletin will have complete results and pictures.

Interested in Raising Show Kings?
The King pigeon is one of the oldest and few American-bred pigeon breeds that has its roots in utility commercial use back in the early 1900s. It has since developed into a show bird for exhibition and enjoying at home. The American King Club is a great source for helping you acquire and learn more about this breed. As the breeding season slows and show season starts, it's a good time to look into starting or expanding your loft with Show Kings.
Contact an AKC member in your area by looking at the advertising page or one of the AKC officers for help. Many of the members will be bringing their Kings to the shows in the districts during the fall and at the January Grand National Pigeon Show. Join the AKC to get access to the bulletins, bands and learn more about the breed. We hope to hear from you!
