UNITED KENNEL CLUB

Conformation Events, or Dog Shows, are competitive events for purebreds where a judge evaluates a dog’s structure as it compares to a written description of the perfect specimen of that breed, called a standard. While it may appear that dogs are being judged against one another, each dog is actually being compared to the judge’s mental image of the perfect dog of that breed. The judges must be familiar with not only the standards of the breeds they judge, but with the Conformation rules and regulations as well. Each dog is examined by the judge in a posed position and must also gait in a pattern to allow the judge to evaluate its efficiency of movement. Dog shows may be held for one breed, several breeds or all breeds, depending on the experience of the club in managing such events.

CH ~ Conformation champion. This title is earned by getting 100 points and 3 majors. Points are earned for 1st place and major wins. A major means winning Best Male/Female. You can also win Best of Winners which counts towards your points but not as one of your 3 majors. CH is also an AKC title but the point system is different.
        Points are earned as follows: Class win = 10 pts., Major win = 15 pts., Best of Winners = 10 pts.

GR CH ~ Grand Champion. This title is earned by winning 5 Champion classes with competition under 3 different judges.
