Once your dog Champions in the AKC, what's next?

There is no grand champion in akc shows. There is however in UKC and KC shows. You do get BIS or BISS if the dog wins Best in show or Best in specialty show. But mainly at this point its for points to get into the top ten of the breed.

There is no guarantee you're dog is special material till you special him

Im not sure if its the same for the AKC but THE UK KC you can only get a champion there is nothing higher but there are other awards such as top dog (for your breed), top stud, dog of the year et these are annual awards that are presented and won by and assessed by the dogs annual performance etc.

There is no such thing as a grand champion, although yes ive heard the term said a few times im presuming its just a term used for dogs that have won many CC's. But if you make a champion then good on you its a fantastic acheivement :)

I may be wrong ive never won one so not 100% but there is another title for a dog/***** that wins best of breed more than 3 times this may be it!!

Right you had me thinking on this one so i have just rang a contact that judges boxers and she has said the term grand champion usually comes from a dog that is show in a couple of countries she mentioned South Africa, New Zealand and Australia she has judged grand champions before and said it is simply an award that is set out by the local KC and for dogs that have won the champion status in 2 different countries the UK definately has no such thing and she didnt think America did either but being in the UK she could be wrong.

BIS or BISS, but you can also compete in other AKC events, such as obedience, to get titles at the other end of his AKC registered name.

Add: Oops, I forgot to say that the dog can also compete in Canada, for the same titles. Good luck with your last major! Hope he finishes soon!

Add: #2 BISS is Best in Specialty Show. I believe that a Grand Champion title is for UKC shows.

In AKC, there is no Grand Champion title. However, the UKC (United Kennel Club) offers a Grand Champion title.

He could become Top Dog of his Breed in his country, for the year, or even Top Dog - All Breeds in his country if he's being Specialled. BISS stands for Best in Specialty Show.

The only real reward, apart from a stroked ego (I kid), and actually some satisfaction for the breeder in having bred an excellent dog, is his appeal as a Stud dog/Brood b itch (and the price of one of his/her puppies) really, oh and a cabinet full of trophies/rosettes. To say nothing of an empty Bank Account - down to the cost of compaigning him/her.

ps. Yes, you can go on to campaign him for a title in another country.

You may also show your dog to an AKC Championship in a Performance event, like Obedience or Agility, etc. Those Championship titles go in front of the dog's AKC registered name the same as a Breed Championship. ;)

First, no canines could be bred earlier age 2. this is very real for golden retrievers who're susceptible to hip dyplasia. canines won't be able to be appropriate examined for hip dysplasia till age 2. Any good golden breeder knows this and would possibly never breed earlier that age. Cavaliers are susceptible to heart defects. till your breeder is screening for heart issues, this canines should not be bred the two. And it does not sound like your breeder intends to tutor those canines to championship, so there is not any thank you to be attentive to those canines are breeding high quality - in straight forward terms her opinion. ultimately there is not any certainty to the reality that a canines could be consistently pregnant to guard their well being. Pyometra is a huge threat in lady canines as they age and canines no longer being bred could truthfully be spayed yet being pregnant additionally comes with risks. in actuality a muddle a twelve months is looking extremely some a girl and maximum breeders won't have extra suitable than 2 or 3 litters out of a girl in her lifetime. Your breeder does no longer sound like a high quality breeder to me.
