pictured above - Black Orange's Limited Edition - Junior Top Dog at SSUK 2008 Can you tell us about the Judging system in your country? The Judging classes Puppy class - 6-9 months (Breed Club Specialities even 4-6 months) - unofficial class, critiques given to the owners - dogs should be placed (1- 5), but NO grading (excellent, very good, good, satisfactory) given - the judge can give out as many honorary prizes (HP) as he/she deems necessary (max. 5 for each sex), the best puppy with HP becomes BOB puppy Official classes - the dogs shall be given one of the following grades: excellent, very good, good, satisfactory, disqualified (or excused) or ”can not be judged” - dogs graded excellent or very good then compete for class placements (1-5), only excellent can compete for the CAC/CC and the CACIB - the testicles should be examined by the judge (normal/not) Junior class - 9 – 15 months - excellent and very good dogs will compete for the class placements 1-5. - all placed dogs, with ”excellent”, continue in the Best Dog / Best Bitch competition - Junior class dogs do NOT compete for the CACIB Intermediate class - 15 – 24 months - excellent and very good dogs will compete for the class placements 1-5 - all placed dogs, with ”excellent”, continue in the Best Dog / Best Bitch competition Open class - 15 months onwards - excellent and very good dogs will compete for the class placements 1-4 - all placed dogs, with ”excellent”, continue in the Best Dog / Best Bitch competition Working class - 15 months onwards, and the dog has to have an FCI working title - excellent and very good dogs will compete for the class placements 1-5 - all placed dogs, with ”excellent”, continue in the Best Dog / Best Bitch competition Champion class - 24 months onwards, and the dog is a Swedish Show Champion or has a champion title from another FCI country -Swedish Champions are only allowed to compete in champion class, working class or veteran class - all placed dogs, with ”excellent”, continue in the Best Dog / Best Bitch competition Veteran class - 8 years onwards - excellent and very good dogs will compete for the class placements 1-5 - all placed dogs, with ”excellent”, continue in the Best Dog / Best Bitch competition - veterans DO NOT compete for the CACIB - winner of the class, with ”HP” honorary prize, continues to compete for BOB veteran and then in the BIS- veteran competition Best Dog/Best Bitch competition - the placed (1-5) dogs in the junior, intermediate, open, champion, working and veteran with ”excellent” may participate - the five best dogs/bitches are placed CAC/CC Can only be given to junior or intermediate class dogs that have received the qualification “excellent” and been placed in the junior or intermediate class, OR to open, working, champion or veteran class dogs thathave received the qualification ”excellent” and been placed in the respective classes but do not yet have the merits for the champion title (i.e. at least 3 CAC’s/CC’s, one of which received after turning 2 years). If the five best dogs/bitches, placed 1-5, already have the champion title merits, the second dog with out Championtitle will get the CAC/CC. In case the judge does not want to give the CAC/CC to the foremost ”excellent” winner, he/she needs tomotivate the decision, as the grading “excellent” means also champion quality. The reason should be entered into the written critique, as well. CACIB and reserve CACIB – similar to CAC/CC competition, junior or veteran class dogs can’t compete for the CACIB/reserve-CACIB, no other restrictions The Best of Breed is chosen After the Best Dog/Best Bitch competition; only the best dog and the best bitch may participate. Breeders’ class - four dogs from the same kennel, given the grades ”excellent” or ”very good” - minimum of two different combinations (the dogs in the group should come from at least two different litters) - the groups should be placed (1- 5), but NO grading (excellent, very good, good, satisfactory) given - the judge can give as many honorary prizes (HP) as he/she wants - If the winning group has received an HP, it goes on to compete for the BIS-breeders’ group title
Each dog is given a written critique of approximately 20-50 words, which the judge dictates to the ring steward in his/her own language. The critique should include the judge’s overall assessment of the dog and its quality, and it should cover the main merits and faults of the dog. The critique for a non-excellent or non-very good winner should indicate the reason for the grading. A copy of the judge’s critique is given to each exhibitor at the conclusion of the breed judging. In every class, each dog is first judged individually against the FCI breed standard and graded according to its quality. The FKC defines the various grades as follows: EXCELLENT (CAC/CC quality) may only be awarded to a dog which comes very close to the ideal standard of the breed, which is presented in excellent condition, displays a harmonious, well-balanced temperament, and is of high class and has excellent posture. Its superior characteristics in respect of its breed permit that minor imperfections can be ignored; it must however have the typical features of its sex. VERY GOOD may only be awarded to a dog which possesses the typical features of its breed and which has well-balanced proportions and is in correct condition. A few minor faults may be tolerated, but none of a morphological nature. This award can only be granted to a dog, which shows class. GOOD is to be awarded to a dog which possesses the main features of its breed however showing faults, subject to that these are not concealed. SUFFICIENT must be awarded to a dog which corresponds adequately to its breed, without possessing the generally accepted characteristics, or whose physical condition leaves something to be desired. DISQUALIFIED must be awarded to a dog, which does not correspond to the type required by the standard, which shows a behaviour clearly not in line with its standard or aggressive behaviour, which has testicular abnormalities, has dental flaw or a jaw abnormality, shows a colour and/or coat imperfection or clearly shows signs of albinism. This qualification shall also be awarded to dogs that correspond so little to a single feature of the breed that its health is threatened. It should furthermore be awarded to dogs that show eliminating faults in regard to the breed standard. Dogs that cannot be awarded one of the above mentioned qualifications should be released from the ring with: CANNOT BE JUDGED This rating is given to a dog, which does not move, constantly jumps up and down on its handler or tries to get out of the ring, which makes it impossible to assess the gait and the movement, or if a dog avoids constantly to be examined by the judge and makes it impossible to inspect bite and teeth, anatomy and structure, tail or testicles, or if traces of operations or treatments can be observed that seem to make attempted deception likely. It applies if the judge has ample reason to suspect operations that were intended to correct the original condition (e.g. of the eyelid, ear or tail). The reason why the dog got rated CANNOT BE JUDGED has to be stated in the written critique.
