Yep folks, there are four Championship shows a year that have CCs on for every breed that has them at all.

They are known as the Kennel Club representative shows. They are Crufts, SKC (May), Birmingham National, and WKC.

here is Australia it means the same thing but here you need 100 points to gain your championship title

In the uk there are no points, the only award towards becoming a champion is to be the best bitch or best dog at a championship show, we dont have a seperate champion class so you have to compete against and beat all the champions in the breed too, depending on the breed it would mean competing in an entry of anything from 50 to a few hundred so its really not easy to become an english champion

dont forget to add that the three cc's should be awarded under judges to be valid

Do you mean under "different " judges as all cc's are given out by judges

oops! sorry, yes, thats what I ment. new keyboard and not quite got used to it yet, so loads of typos

and, one CC must be after the dog is 12 months old, think that is correct, I think it should be older because some puppies who do well as pups and juniors turn into dawks when they are adult.

well trying for my first cc in december, three of mine entered in LKA, fingers crossed

Ohhh good luck bluesandtwos

I just had a look at your site and you dogs look stunning, who are you going for it with?

I just read back this thread and I hope we haven't confused the OP more than she was already lol: I remember it took me ages figuring out all this show lingo before I started showing

we are taking our boy demon, whos 9 months now and the two baby girls Nuka and Nova who will be just over 6 months. the little ones have champs in the last four generations of their pedigree, so trying to make it 5
