About the Eukanuba Dog Show?

Champion is an award given by the AKC when the dog earns 15 points by defeating other dogs in previous show. The number of points given at any one show depends on the number of dogs of that particular breed at that show. It can range from 1 point to a maximum of 5 for one show. Wins of 3,4, or 5 points is known as a 'major' win. A dog must have 2 majors to get their championship.

At this time, my male Gordon Setter has 9 points, including one major, so he needs another major win, and a total of 6 points to become a champion.

I hope I explained it well enough!

ADDED:

Exactly. The 'stuff' after CH is their registered name. That has nothing to do with what the dog is called at home. My Papillon's registgered name is Robin's Nest Sweetest Trouble. Robin's Nest is the kennel I bought her from. I call her Cricket. I chose Sweetest Trouble because when she was a puppy, she WAS the sweetest trouble, LOL. So the call name at home doesn't have to have anything at all to do with the registered name.

On the other hand, my Gordon Setter girl's registered name is Schujan's Must Be Kharma. Again, Schujan is the kennel I got her from, and I *do* call her Kharma.

There are titles that go at the end of a name, too, obedience titles, agility, field, herding, etc.

The champion BEFORE the name is one from the AKC just the designation Champion means a champion in the conformation ring (earned by defeating appropriate number of dogs of there own breed) a championship in another venue of competition is qualified- (Field Champ (FC) - obedience trial champion (OTCH)

Other organizations offer their own championship these go AFTER the name

As for the name AKC accepts only one dog per name - (and fido was taken 100 yr ago) you are much more likely to get a unique name with a long one most breeders start with a "kennel name" in a tradition that goes back to livestock breeders. andhol too - when the other have names like daisyhill Walk on Water and HoundhollowPputting on the Ritz "joe boy"seems rather anticlimatic

i replaced into watching, and someway ignored the GSD. i assumed from in basic terms finding on the canine (in the previous being stacked), it in basic terms did no longer look suited to me. i replaced into extra puzzled by using two of the terrier handlers who went down (far flung from the decide), and became left and went returned. interior the guidance training i've got been to, they say you may desire to constantly turn suited. That one fairly puzzled me. I actual stored spacing out throughout the prepare. i do no longer even comprehend who gained! Can every person tell me Lol? i've got additionally constantly been curious, how the slope of the returned differentiates the ecu and American GSDs...

I think that means they are champion-bred. This means that they are related to a former dog show champion.
