Order of examination in the ring

Prior to the start of the examination, it is necessary in advance (with a margin of 30-40 minutes):

• undergo veterinary control, for which you will need a veterinary certificate of the established form for the dog. A certificate can only be obtained at state veterinary clinics.
• register for the exhibition and get an exhibition number. To avoid misunderstandings, it is better to always have a receipt confirming the entry of the dog to the show.

Ideally, the examination in the ring should begin strictly in accordance with the schedule of the exhibition, which can and should be known in advance.

The procedure for examination in the ring at certificate shows in the RKF-FCI system is as follows (within one breed):

baby class: examination of males with the CW title, examination of females with the CW title, comparison of a male and a female who received the CW title for the title of Best Baby of Breed.

Puppy class: examination of males with the CW title, examination of females with the CW title, comparison of a male and a female who received the CW title for the title of Best Puppy of Breed.

Junior class: examination of males with awarding CW and CACJ titles, examination of females with awarding CW and CACJ titles, comparison of a male and a female who received CW-CACJ titles for the title of Best Junior of Breed.

Examination of adult males: first, an examination is carried out in turn in each of the show classes (intermediate, open, winners, workers, champions and veterans) with the award of CW and CAC titles in each of them, then a comparison for the title of Best male of the breed takes place (males with CW- titles are compared with each other CAC)

Examination of adult bitches: first, an examination is carried out in turn in each of the show classes (intermediate, open, winners, workers, champions and veterans) with the award of CW and CAC titles in each of them, then a comparison for the title of Best female of the breed takes place (females with CW-titles are compared with each other CAC)

Comparison for the title of Best of Breed (best male and best female are compared)

Addition:

At CACIB Certification Shows, the Best Female and Best Male can be awarded the CACIB title.

At monobreed shows of different status, instead of CAC and CACIB titles, the titles of CCHK, PC and CHC are awarded, according to the rules for awarding titles of the National Breed Club.

All dogs from the same class enter the ring in numerical order after the invitation of the ring steward (males and females are shown separately - see above).

The exhibition number must be visible at all times (pinned, hung around the neck, etc.).

All further actions in the ring take place in accordance with the instructions of the expert.

As a rule, the sequence of examination in the ring is approximately the following:

First, all dogs standing in the ring are examined for teeth, and for males, the presence of both testicles is checked. Incorrect bite, violations of the dental formula, the absence of one or both testicles in the scrotum - are the basis for disqualification of the exhibitor.

Then all dogs are watched in motion in a circle. And a dog that is visibly lame or has a serious movement defect will be removed from the ring.

After that, an individual examination of each dog is carried out: the expert evaluates the dog in the stance and in motion, and the assistant writes down the result of the examination on the evaluation sheet. The result of the individual examination is an assessment (the exhibitor is given a ribbon of the corresponding color, but, however, not always+).

Upon completion of the individual examination of all dogs presented in the class, the judge places dogs from 1 to 4 with an "excellent" rating (at CACIB shows with "excellent" and "very good" ratings).

The winner will continue to fight for the titles, but after some time the rest of the participants will receive diplomas and evaluation sheets.

Competitions for best dog shows, Best Baby, Best Puppy, Best Junior and Best Veteran of the Show are held at the end of the show day, after the end of the examination in the rings.
