What is a Conformation Show?

WinnerA written standard for each breed describes the appearance of a dog built to perform well at the job it was bred to do. Dogs are judged both standing and on the move, first within their own breed and if they are judged Best of Breed or Best Puppy in Breed they go on to compete against other breeds in their group, then in show.

Under the Canadian Kennel Club rules, 10 points are needed for a Championship, with wins awarded by at least three different judges, and at least one "major" win of two or more points. More titles can then be acheived. For more complete information go to the Canadian Kennel Club site : http://www.ckc.ca/en/Events/Overview-of-Events/Conformation
