On behalf of DVG America and the Western KG, we welcome you to the 2025 DVG IGP Championship in Merced, California, November 14-16th.

The California Central Valley offers many exciting things to experience in addition to attending the National Championship. Within about a two-hour drive you can visit Yosemite, Napa Valley, and the San Francisco Bay. Hilmar and Turlock offer many dining options including Hilmar Cheese Factory and Dustbowl Brewing Company, two local favorites. For those interested in local California wines, Lodi, approximately 1.5 hours north of the stadium, has guided wine tours and tastings through beautiful local wineries.

Merced College is our event stadium, with the stadium events taking place on a football field with a track surround and large permanent bleachers for spectators. This year's Championship will have vendors, raffle drawings, Judge's dinner and Draw Night activities. We have access to a beautiful fenced practice field for obedience and protection a short drive from the hotel, stadium, and dining. Practice tracking information will be made available as well.
