Rules & Regulations

Breed Speciality CAC Show Format

Breed Speciality CAC Shows follow the Championship CAC format and are restricted to one designated breed. There is no group competition or separate Best in Show judging. Best of Breed becomes Best in Show and Best of Opposite Sex becomes Reserve Best in Show. If BOS is withheld, no Reserve Best in Show is awarded. The corresponding Minor Puppy, Puppy, Junior and Veteran breed winners receive their respective in Show awards.

Results are official, permanently recorded, and contribute towards KCP championship titles and the KCP Points System. German Shepherd specialty events follow separate formats and are not covered by this format.
