Exhibition ranks

Exhibitions have a certain hierarchy. These are events of the CAC rank, based on the RKF calendar, all breeds of dogs can participate in them. Events of the CACIB rank are also all-breed exhibitions, but international, they are organized based on the FCI calendar. There are also monobreeds, in which representatives of the same breed (for example, collie) compete. Such events are held by the National Club, they are also divided according to the titles assigned - the rank of candidates for club champions (CCC) and the rank of club champions (CC). Once a year, a national exhibition of the breed club, the so-called “national”, is held.
