HKS Online Entries
The official dog show portal of Hrvatski kinološki savez (HKS) — Croatia's national kennel club and FCI member — covering all HKS-approved events across Croatia.
Hrvatski kinološki savez (HKS) is Croatia's national kennel club and a full FCI member. Their portal at hks.hr covers dog show events and online entries for HKS-approved exhibitions across Croatia. Croatia's Adriatic coastline and central Balkan position make it an increasingly popular destination for international exhibitors building Central and Southeastern European circuits. Some Croatian shows are also listed in the multi-country E-Kinologija platform, while HKS maintains its own official portal for nationally-sanctioned events. Croatian native breeds include the Dalmatian, Croatian Sheepdog (Hrvatski ovčar), and Posavac Hound (Posavski gonič).
