On Tuesday, April 30, 2019, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller announced “asylum-seeking migrants” will receive temporary housing at Expo New Mexico’s Youth Hall. Other Expo New Mexico facilities used by the High Desert Cluster are NOT affected by this announcement.

Please see our 2019 High Desert Cluster Facilities & Security Changes page to learn what we are doing to address show participant concerns about well-being, security and show operations.

Rio Grande Kennel Club dog shows are normally held on Mother’s Day weekend each year at Expo New Mexico as part of the High Desert Cluster of Dog Shows. The shows include conformation, obedience, rally and herding events. The 2019 High Desert Cluster will be held on May 10, 2019 through May 14, 2019. Jack Onofrio Dog Shows, LLC will be the show superintendent. More show information can be found on this page as it becomes available.

The social media hashtag for the shows is #hdcluster. We suggest using it with the AKC hashtag as #akc #hdcluster on your social media updates at Facebook, Flickr, Instagram, Twitter and others. Don’t forget to make those updates public!
