Australian Cattle Dog & Kelpie Club of Qld Inc 

Around the Rings


 About Showing  &  Members at our shows (photos below)

 

The majority of our members compete in Conformation Showing with their dogs. 

As breeders, this is an excellent way to showcase our dogs and to be able to provide a 'resume' for our prospective stud dog or mother of upcoming litters.

Dogs can attain titles of Australian Champion & Australian Grand Champion.

To become a Champion, the dog must attain 100 points over its show career.

To gain a Grand Champion title, a dog must attain 1000 points.

In the Show Ring,

The dogs are judged on their confirmation.

(the way they are put together) as close to the standard for that breed as possible.

Each breed has there own set standard that dogs are measured against,  Our members aim to achieve this standard when breeding.

 

In the ring the dog must allow the judge to

  • check its teeth (for bite and dentition)
  • Assess its structure.  This is done by feel with the judge placing their hands over the dog from head to tail. 
  • Check for coat quality.

The handler also asked to move the dog around the ring so that the judge can check for soundness of movement, from the side, behind and in front.

 

 

 

 

If you wish to show your puppy, there are usually Show Handling classes available in most areas. Or if you live close to your breeder, they may be able to help you out as well. You can only show your puppy with approval of your breeder (the pup must be on the Main Register). As much as a breeder will do their best to pick a pup they believe has Show Potential, unfortunately, not all puppies will grow into Grand Champions.

The club has Pointscore Competitions per year.  One is the Metropolitan for Brisbane and surrounding districts, the second is the Country members Pointscore.  These are yearly competitions for the members, please read the rules on the pointscore page:
