Championship Show
KCP CAC (Championship) Show
Counts towards championship titles & points
The KCP CAC (Championship) Show is the principal national championship event conducted by the Kennel Club of Pakistan, organised to evaluate purebred dogs against their respective breed standards while promoting responsible breeding and good sportsmanship.
Unlike FCI International CACIB Shows, KCP Championship Shows award CACs (Certificat d'Aptitude au Championnat), which count towards the title of Pakistan Champion. Results are officially recorded in the KCP Registry and permanently updated in each dog's profile.
