Nordic Championship

  • Nordic Champion (NORDCH)

International Championships

In order to be awarded an international championship, the dog’s ancestry must be pedigreed in the Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) for at least three generations.

The regulations are at all times laid down by the FCI.

  • International Conformation Champion (INTCH)

    Only when the dog has been awarded a Danish conformation championship, is it possible to apply for an international championship for that dog.

    The dog must have received two CACIBs in two different countries and from two different judges. The second CACIB must be achieved at least one year and one day after the first CACIB. When the CACIBs and other requirements of the international conformation championship have been achieved, the DKK must be notified immediately. The DKK then  requests the FCI to recognise the title.

     

    CACIB is awarded at international conformation shows in ‘Best male’ and Best female’ classes. Should the judge find the quality superior, CACIB may be awarded to the best placed male and best placed female in the breed. The dog’s ancestry must be pedigreed in the FCI for at least three generations, and the dog must be at least 15 months old and entered in either medium, open, working or champion class.

    If the quality is superior, the judge may award the second best dog in each sex a reserve CACIB. The reserve CACIB is only taken into use if an awarded CACIB is annulled by the FCI (for example if the dog awarded a CACIB already is an international conformation champion).

  • International Conformation Champion (INTCH(U))
    Hunden skal have opnået fire CACIBer i tre forskellige lande under tre forskellige dommere. Der skal mindst gå et år og en dag mellem det første og det sidste CACIB. 

  • International Working Champion (INTBRCH)

    The title is awarded dogs who receive two CACITs (or alternatively one CACIT and two reserve CACITs) in two different countries under two different judges. After the age of 15 months, the dog must also achieve a ‘Very Good’ rating in working or open class at an international conformation show. The second CACIT must be achieved at least one year and one day after the first CACIT.

The DKK does not undertake supervision or management of the title. However, for a fee, the DKK registers the title followed by a two-digit year on the dog’s pedigree/ancestry.

  • DKK Breed Winner of the Year

    Each calendar year dogs compete for the title of DKK Breed Winner of the Year. The competition is held at DKK conformation shows. For one year at a time, the Danish Kennel Club decides which shows are included in the competition. They will appear annually in the DKK conformation catalogue.

    The winner is found through a point system by which the dog receives points according to the following scale:

    BOB = 5 points

    BOS = 3 points.

    The points from all the international conformation shows in a year are added, and the dog who receives the highest score is awarded the title ‘DKK Breed Winner of the Year’. Should two or more dogs achieve equal scores, the dog wins who has achieved the most BOB placements. If the dogs still have equal scores, the dog wins who has achieved its best placements at conformation shows with the largest number of entries in the breed.

    For a fee the DKK Breed Winner of the Year may request a ‘DKK Breed Winner’ certificate issued. The title is recorded on the dog’s pedigree/ancestry.
