| Dog shows are more than just beauty contests.
"Form follows function", as the saying goes. A written standard for each breed
describes the appearance of a dog built to perform well at the job it was bred to do.
Judges make their choices according to their understanding and interpretation of these
standards. Dogs are assessed both standing and moving and compete first within their own
breed. The breed winners go on to the group (Sporting group in the case of labradors)
competition. At the end of the day, the winners of the seven groups vie for Best of Show
honours. |
|
| Winning dogs are awarded points based on the
number of other dogs in their class. When dogs accumulate 10 points, they are awarded a
CKC Championship title. |
