About Showing & Members at our shows (photos below)

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

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.

METROPOLITAN POINT SCORE

Any financial member is eligible to participate in the Metropolitan point score. Members can be in either Metropolitan or Country point score, not both. Metropolitan is defined as within 150 km radius of the Brisbane GPO and Country is defined as outside this radius.

An entry fee of $5.00 per member or family membership per breed, payable before any dog owned by member or family membership can compete in the competition. This is payable prior entering the ring of the point score show. If point score money is paid aft4er competing in a point score show, the points received for that particular show would be classed as ineligible. Point score membership will not be backdated prior the date paid.

No repeat judge is permissible, ie, if there is a change of judge in any selected point score show which causes this situation, it would be automatic cancellation of that show as a point score show. A total of 10(ten) shows are selected comprising of 2 (two) Cattle Dog and Kelpie Club of Qld Inc specialty shows in February and June, the remainder are selected and voted on by the members at a general meeting prior commencement of the point score year. Back up shows are also selected and voted on at the same general meeting to cover inconsistencies that may occur.

There will be no local (Qld) judges at these shows.

COUNTRY POINT SCORE

During the year you have to have the catalogue for each CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW IN QUEENSLADN (ONLY) that you attend, and do well at, to be marked. Either the writer or the steward of the particular show must also sign the same catalogue. At the end of October, you must then go through your signed catalogues and submit your 10 BEST SHOWS’ RESULTS.

With the Obedience competition we require a photocopy of your THREE BEST QUALIFYING certificates for Novice, Open and/or Utility to be forwarded to your point score co-codinator after 31^st October each year. Regarding the agility and the jumpers, the requirement is 10 SIGNED CATALOGUES, endorsed with all placings and absentees, and any qualifying certificates to be tended ater 31^st October each year. In the event of a tie, a count back is required & it relies on the number of dogs beaten over the ten catalogues supplied.

Points Allocation
Obedience	Highest average Qualifying dog. The three submitted scores added together & divided by three	Agility/Jumpers	1^st	3 points
			2^nd	2 points
			3^rd	1 point
			Qualifying score	5 points

NOTE: The only progressive score is kept for the Breed Metropolitan Point Score. This competition has set shows that all members are required to attend in comparison to the other point scores where the members can select which shows they wish to attend. It is therefore impossible to keep a running record of any other point score but the Metropolitan Point Score (breed).
