The World Winner Dog show is as the European Winner, held by different organizing countries every year. In General it is organized in the same manner as the European Winner dog show, and the organizing country set up specific regulations for the Junior Handling competition. The Junior Handlers also here show a dog of their own.

At the previous World Winner Dog shows the organizing country invites recognised national kennel clubs to send a Junior Handler representative to the international Junior Handling final held at the final day of the World Winner dog show. Many speak of the Junior Handling Final at the World Dog show as an unofficial Junior Handling World Championships (where the international final at Crufts in general is recognised as the official).

At World Winner 2006, held in Poznan, Poland, the Nordic countries had two representatives qualified by the national kennel clubs, Danish Katrine Kryh and Swedish Vilhelmiina Walldén. Besides this, Finland had 1 representative, Anna Salminen, and Sweden had 1 representative, Louise Dufwa, qualified through the day finals.
