We put off this material for a very long time, because with the seeming simplicity it is really complex. Is it a joke to embrace in one article decades of the theory and practice of hundreds of Russian clubs and thousands of exhibitions ... Nevertheless, the need to send newcomers somewhere to familiarize themselves with the basics of exhibition technologies has matured, as a result of this small allowance.
Those involved in dog breeding try to maintain their reputation in the world of cynology and the image of the breed, therefore, buying a puppy from them, the future owner can count on help, advice and recommendations, including how to properly prepare the dog for the show. After all, any breeder is important to evaluate the offspring, which ultimately will talk about the breeding qualities of parents.
Without high-profile victories at the shows, your dog will be of little interest as a producer, and if you have a bitch, it will be much easier to sell puppies from titled parents. Participation in exhibitions will help puppies to relate to large concentrations of dogs and people.
Documents for participation
Your dog must be of purebred origin, as evidenced by the pedigree, which is issued by the breeder, or by the club in which the puppy's mother is registered.
Most often, the breeder gives you a puppy card in your hands, which you later need to exchange for a pedigree document. Exchange is possible only after receiving a puppy description at the exhibition, so at least one exhibition should be passed to everyone.
In addition to the pedigree or puppy card, you will need a veterinary passport with a mandatory mark about. You will also need to get a veterinary certificate (sometimes this can be done right on the spot, but it’s wiser to take care of it in advance)
Grooming cosmetics
An exhibition is always a show, a beauty contest where dogs demonstrate their exterior data. The zoo industry offers a wide variety of hair, claws, teeth care products, various haircuts, combs, trimmers and other accessories. In a word, everything is like people’s.
Well-known brands like Iv San Bernard, Biogance, Mr. Bruno produce whole lines of hair care products based on natural plant extracts and extracts. Designed special exhibition cosmetics Plush Puppy, Crown Rovale or Laser Lites able to transform your pet before a demonstration in the ring.
Well, in order to surely defeat everyone with a fashionable hairstyle or appropriate styling, professional hairdressers - groomers are at your service. Moreover, each breed has its own specific methods: it is recommended to bathe someone before the show, but someone else cannot; for some dogs, it is enough to comb and lay the hair thoroughly with the help of mousse, and for some, it is necessary to pluck the hair in certain areas and trim the muzzle.
Ring behavior
But beauty is not all that is required of you and your pet. In the ring, the dog must present itself, demonstrating the skills of good behavior. Anyone who has ever watched how the exhibitions are held, saw how profitably the contestants who are worthy walking in the ring differ from their brothers, rushing in different directions, whom the owner is trying to make him walk next to him with all his might.
In order not to look like this, the dog needs to be prepared for display in the ring, and for this the owner will not be superfluous to take the course of handling himself. Such classes can be obtained from a professional handler, a trainer, to teach you and your future star the basics of show behavior: walk the ring correctly, not respond to the judge’s actions (who is obliged to examine the dental system and check the presence of both testicles in the males, feel the coat, check the correct angles joints).
In addition, your ward will need to demonstrate the stand, for which it is necessary to stand still for 2-3 minutes, which for some decorative doggies will be problematic. And, of course, we must not forget about running in a circle and in a straight line.
As for behavior, any manifestation of aggression for which they may disqualify you by removing you from the ring is not allowed. The judge may also downgrade due to the cowardly or hysterical behavior of the dog.
If you do not have enough time to learn the basics of exhibition training, or you are not interested, you can instruct the handler to put your pet in the ring for a fee.
Many breeders themselves will show your dog for free - if only to support the kennel’s reputation and earn a little “tsatsek” for it (the meaning of this phrase will become clear to you a little later).

Who needs it and why?
Participation in the exhibition is a holiday where amateurs and professionals meet, where you can get advice on various issues, communicate and exchange experiences. But the main purpose of the exhibitions (at least in theory) is to select the best representatives for further breeding work. Indeed, even if the puppy was purchased in a super-elite nursery or from titled parents, this does not mean that he will become a champion. The makings inherited from the parents are significant, but in addition to this, the puppy from the first days needs proper feeding, education and care, so that he can subsequently claim high titles. and, and other brachycephals, there must be a snack - i.e. the teeth of the lower jaw protrude above the upper, a gap remains between them. Quite the opposite, dogs have an overshot eye when the upper jaw does not fit tightly with the lower jaw, and there is significant space between them.
Cryptorchidism and dental problems are inherited, so judges are very strict about them.
Participants with non-standard color, hanging ears instead of erect and vice versa risk being removed from the ring.
Exterior Rating System
The score is reduced for such inconsistencies as the body is stretched in a square format, deviations from growth indicators, improper positioning of limbs, atypical movements, mismatch of the coat, etc.
Deficiencies that are more pronounced are already considered a vice.The dog is not always disqualified, but the rating will be reduced very much.
Each breed has its own specific standard, and an expert can determine compliance or deviation from it. It is useless and unethical to argue with a judge. Owning an objectively assessing their dog is quite difficult, but an objective examination is necessary for breeding.
Often owners with a "star" pedigree on their hands are outraged that their pet fell into the category marked "tribal marriage." Cynology is a serious science in terms of breeding and selection of pairs for breeding use. Hereditary genes can affect descendants in the most unpredictable way. Most often this happens with the color, when the titled parents may have a puppy with a completely unusual color for this breed.
The pedigree itself is a document that only confirms the origin of the dog, it does not guarantee anything.
Titles and Titles
The official organizers of the exhibition can be any legally registered community of dog breeders. Depending on who the organizer is, the rank and highest rank that the dog can receive are determined.
The Russian Cynological Federation (RKF), which consists of various Dog Kennel Clubs across the country, is part of the FCI International Cynological Organization. In accordance with breed standards recognized and approved by FCI, the Russian Cynological Federation holds its exhibitions, the largest and most prestigious of which is Eurasia.
The international exhibition of all breeds has the rank of CACIB. Only breeds recognized by FCI are allowed to participate in an exhibition of this rank. Participation in it gives the right to receive a title CACIB (“Applicant for the title of International Champion”, or Satsib) or RCACIB (“Candidate for the title of International Champion).
Regional or All-Russian dog shows of all breeds have the rank of CAC. Breeds recognized by FCI and the Russian Cynological Federation are allowed to the exhibition. The best dogs get the title САС (“Applicant for the title of National Champion”, popularly - “Tsatsk”, “Tsatsk”) or RCAC (“National Champion Candidate”).
National breed clubs (NKP) hold specialty shows where representatives of one or a group of related breeds compete (for example, all poodles of different colors from toy poodle to royal). At a specialty show, the best female and best male are awarded the title of Champion of the National Club of the breed and Candidate for Champions of the National Club.
Age groups of competing:
- Baby class - 3-6 months;
- Puppy class - 6-9 months;
- Junior class - 9-18 months;
- Open class - from 15 months;
- Class "Winners" - dogs that have received the title of at least two shows;
- Class "Champions" - already having this title;
- Veteran class - after 8 years.
All contestants, with the exception of those removed from the ring, receive ratings depending on the exterior data that meets the standard: “excellent”, “very good”, “good”, “satisfactory”. Puppies are rated "very promising", "promising", "unpromising".
At the shows, regardless of their rank, the best representatives in the classes of baby, puppy, junior, male, female, female, veteran are selected by breed. To do this, Best in Show is held - a comparative ring where the best one is selected among dogs of various breeds.
