Since many people have questions about the rules for holding exhibitions and obtaining championship titles, we will try to help you understand the intricacies of the exhibition marathon.
Here we will consider only the rules concerning Russian dogs. Exhibitions are divided into: 1. International. These exhibitions are certified by the FCI, the rules for their holding are the SAME FOR ALL COUNTRIES. They determine the winner of each class, then, in a comparison of adult classes, the Best Male and Best Bitch are determined, which are assigned the CACIB rating (Candidate for International Champions of Beauty). Young dogs up to and including the junior class are not included in the CACIB comparison. CACIB itself is not a title, it is only a step towards obtaining the title International Champion of Beauty, it is awarded ONLY by FCI. In order to receive this coveted title, a dog must have accumulated at least 4 (four) CACIBs, obtained in three different countries, under different judges (three of whom must be foreigners) and between the first and last CACIB received, AT LEAST one year must have elapsed and one day. For Russia, the FCI made an exception, and Russian dogs can gain CACIB not only according to general rules, but also according to rules exclusive to Russia - all four CACIB can be obtained in Russia, but necessarily in four different regions. The remaining requirements: for experts (all experts are different and three are foreigners) and for the deadline for receiving the last CACIB - a year and one day, remain unchanged. Here is an approximate list of correspondence between cities where international exhibitions are held and regions: CITY - REGION • BARNAUL - SIBERIAN • VLADIVOSTOK - FAR EASTERN • VOLGOGRAD - VOLZHSKY • VORONEZH - CENTRAL BLACK EARTH • EKATERINBURG - URAL • IRKUTSK - BAIKAL • KALININGRAD - NORTH O-WEST • KEMEROVO – SIBIRSKY • KOMSOMOLSK ON AMUR – FAR EASTERN • KRASNODAR – NORTH CAUCASIAN • MOSCOW – CENTRAL • NIZHNY NOVGOROD – VOLZHSKY • NOVGOROD VELIKY – NORTH-WESTERN • NOVOROSSIYSK – NORTH CAUCASIAN • OMSK – SIBIRSK IY • PSKOV – NORTH-WESTERN • ROSTOV-ON-DON – NORTH CAUCASIAN • SAMARA - VOLZHSKY • ST. PETERSBURG - NORTHWEST • SARATOV - VOLZHSKY • SMOLENSK - CENTRAL • SOCHI - NORTH CAUCASIAN • TYUMEN - URAL • ULAN-UDE - BAIKAL • KHABAROVSK - FAR EASTERN • CHELYA BINSK - URAL In addition to CACIB on International exhibitions are also awarded CAC (Candidate for National Beauty Champions). These ratings and the title of National Beauty Champion will be discussed below. 2. National exhibitions are certified by FCI member organizations in each country; the title of National Beauty Champion is no longer awarded by the FCI, but by the canine organization of the FCI member country. The rules for obtaining it are different in each country; here, each country decides for itself how many CACs and within what time frame must be received in order to be awarded the title of National Beauty Champion. CAC is also not a title, it is only an assessment - Candidate for National Beauty Champions, based on their specific set, the title of National Beauty Champion is obtained. Some countries assign CAC to each class winner at shows, some - only to the Best Male and Best Bitch (for example Finland, Estonia, Latvia). Some countries have adopted a time frame between the first and last CAS - from 6 months to a year. According to the rules of the RKF, CAC is assigned to the winners of each class, in the junior class - JCAC. We also have several options for obtaining the title Champion of Russia for Russian dogs: 1) 6 CAC, obtained under different experts; 2) 4 CAC, if 1 CAC was received at an International exhibition or at an exhibition of the rank of the ChRKF (i.e. the All-Russian exhibition, where the title of RKF Champion is awarded). All CACs must be obtained under different experts 3) 3 CAC + Junior Champion of Russia. All CACs must be obtained under different experts 4) 2 CACs at the Eurasia exhibition. Similarly, JCAC are recruited to obtain the Junior Champion of Russia: 5) 4 JCAC, obtained under different experts; 6) 3 JCAC, if 1 JCAC was received at an International exhibition or at an exhibition of the rank of the Russian KFKF (i.e., an All-Russian exhibition where the title of RKF Champion is awarded), all JCAC must be obtained under different experts 7) 2 JCAC at the Eurasia exhibition. There are slightly different rules for foreign dogs; they can be read on the RKF website. Also, between Russia and a number of countries there are agreements according to which a Russian dog, which is the Champion of Russia, can receive a country title for one CAC. These agreements may also differ from each other. I have already said that the rules for obtaining the CAC itself may be different. Some countries, such as Luxembourg or Israel, stipulate that CAC must be obtained only in the Champion class, in other countries, on the contrary, CAC is not given in the Champion class... You need to become more familiar with the rules of the countries where you are going to the exhibition. I can list an approximate list of countries with which Russia has agreements, but this is from memory, I may miss something... 1) All former CIS countries 2) Finland 3) Denmark 4) Israel 5) Czech Republic (from this year) 6 ) Luxembourg There are also exhibitions of the NCP (National Breed Club).
At single-breed exhibitions the following titles are awarded: CHK - to the winner of 1st place when comparing the winners of adult classes (separately for males and females) at exhibitions of the rank of CHK (national); YuChK - the same, in the junior class; PC - the same, at the PC rank exhibition; YPK - the same, in the junior class; CCC - the same, at an exhibition of the rank of CCC, as well as for the winners of adult classes at exhibitions of the rank of PC and CHK; JCC - the same, in the junior class; JSS and SS - to dogs placed in 2nd to 4th place in each class, at shows of the PC and CHK ranks, and from 1st to 4th place (and more often only class winners) at shows of the CC rank. At all exhibitions (regardless of rank), the best baby ( B ), best puppy BJ ), best junior BJ B best bitch ( B ), best veteran ( B ), best representative of the breed ( BOB ). The PB and PB are determined by comparing the winners of the adult classes: intermediate, open, winners, champions. The Best Junior is selected by comparing the best junior male and the best junior female. DILI is determined by comparing LY, BL, LS and LV. BL, BL, BJ, LV and BOB are shown in the BEST IN SHOW exhibition for comparison with representatives of other breeds.
There is also some difference in the inclusion of titles in the pedigree of the descendants of the titled dog. Pedigrees are national and international (export). All titles established by the RKF are included in the Russian (national) pedigree, i.e. for example, the titles of Federation Champions are included. And only titles approved by the FCI are included in the international (export) pedigree. Federation Champions are our internal titles, they do not participate in the export pedigree, but the RKF Champion is included. The NKP (National Breed Club) champion in the export pedigree is written as CW – class winner. Additionally, the rules for assigning titles can also be found on the website of the Russian Cynological Federation.
What you should know when registering a non-profit partnership (NPP): types of NCP and their features
A non-profit partnership (hereinafter referred to as NCP or partnership) as a legal structure for conducting various types of non-commercial activities is created in order to use greater opportunities for implementing activities aimed at simplifying access to public benefits for as many people as possible. The NCP is formed as a type of non-profit organization involved in resolving controversial issues and conflicts between the individual and the state, the solution of which needs wide publicity. These questions include:
assisting people in solving issues of protecting their health, as well as preserving the environment and natural resources;
defending the interests of organizations when they solve problems that are socially beneficial for the population of the country;
free legal assistance to low-income groups of the population;
performing other social tasks to achieve charitable, health, cultural, educational, scientific, managerial and other goals.
The activities of the NCP cannot be aimed at obtaining profit or other material benefits for the purpose of their subsequent distribution among its founders and members.
Any entrepreneurial activity carried out by the NCP is stipulated in advance in the partnership charter; the profit received from it is spent exclusively on solving statutory tasks, and not for the income of the founders and members.
NCP, being a type of non-profit organization, can function as a legal entity for as long as desired. Legislatively, the period of activity for NCPs is not established (bringing good for free is allowed indefinitely). At the same time, for a partnership it is not necessary to be a legal entity with its subsequent inclusion in the state register. An NCP can be formed by two or more partners, which are individuals and legal entities. Registration of an NCP in the form of a legal entity is carried out at the request of its founders. The NCP is based on the membership of its participants, the number of which can be at least two. The maximum number of partners is not limited and can be any.
Depending on the tasks to be solved, the NCP can be created in various forms.
Types of NCP
The specific type of NCP is determined by the motive driven by the creators of the partnership. Its content can be briefly formulated in the form of a desire or desire to find the most optimal solution to pressing issues directly affecting the creators of the NCP, which they are unable to resolve on their own. Partnership allows you to combine the efforts and resources of like-minded people to solve their common pressing problems that are too difficult to handle alone. Partnerships can be country houses, construction, housing, sports, etc. Let's consider the features of some of them.
Country NKP
Dacha partnership as a form of cooperation differs from garden (dacha) non-profit partnerships. The essence of the difference lies in the difference in approaches to the turnover of property.
The property of the dacha NCP in the form of movable and immovable assets purchased with contributions from partners is the property of the dacha partnership. The status of the property of the garden partnership is joint ownership.
Help: From 01.01. 2019 The Federal Law “On Citizens’ Gardening and Vegetable Farming for Their Own Needs and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation” comes into force, abolishing dacha non-profit partnerships and consumer cooperatives. From 2022, only horticultural and gardening partnerships will remain.
The legislation establishes that the creation of a dacha NCP is permitted subject to the following requirements.
- A dacha partnership is created three or more persons.
- Only owners of land plots aged 18 years or older can act as partners.
- The organization of a dacha partnership is permissible only for the performance of work of a non-commercial nature. Carrying out work of a commercial nature is possible only to receive funds used to pay for the statutory activities of the NCP (for example, to purchase seeds of high-yielding vegetables and fruits grown by partnership members).
Construction NKP
A non-profit partnership of builders is a voluntary association of specialists in construction and other professions for the purpose of cooperation to jointly resolve issues that are too difficult for one person to handle. For example, construction NCPs can be created in order to protect the rights of partners through joint efforts in resolving controversial issues with authorities in land and other relations.
The creation of a construction NCP is advisable with the participation of as many participants as possible (from several dozen to hundreds of partners). Law enforcement practice shows that in this case it is much easier for a partnership of builders to resolve controversial and conflicting issues in the construction industry due to the presence of solid experience, connections and, of course, financial capital.
There are other types of NCP. They all differ in the goals of cooperation, but are united by the non-commercial nature of their activities.
General characteristics of different types of partnerships
Another distinctive feature of the NCP is the ability to use tax benefits, as well as various government preferences and grants. Such a right arises in any partnership only when it acquires the status of an individual.
When a partnership is formed, all its members, without exception, pay membership fees in the amount determined by the charter of the NCP, and transfer part of their personal property for subsequent ownership and disposal by the created organization. After registration of the NCP, this property acts as the private property of the partnership. Each partner (member of the NCP) is assigned the right to receive back his property or its value only upon leaving the NCP. As a rule, paid membership fees are not refunded.
Signs of similarity between different types of NCP
Different types of partnerships are similar to each other in the following main ways.
- An NCP cannot be organized by one person or by one person. For cooperation, at least one partner is required. The maximum number of partnership members can be as large as desired (there are no restrictions on the maximum number of partnership members).
- The period of existence of a partnership is not limited by law (the period of existence of the NCP can be specified in its constituent documents).
- The NCP is created by the decision of the future partners, who act as founders of the partnership and approve the charter of the organization.
The founders have the right (but are not obligated) to enter into a memorandum of association or agreement along with the charter. When concluding a contract (agreement), this document acts as the second constituent document of the NCP.
The constituent agreement or agreement is prepared and signed with the mutual voluntary consent of all founders of the NCP to officially formalize the following issues:
— record in writing the voluntary consent of each partner to the creation of an NCP in order to achieve the socially beneficial goals set out in the organization’s charter;
— determine a list of specific actions (areas of responsibility) of each of the founders of the partnership during its creation and further work;
— establish the volume and timing of property contributions by each founder to the material fund of the partnership being created, which subsequently becomes the personal property of the NCP;
— formulate the conditions and procedure for returning part of the property to each partner upon his/her withdrawal from the NCP;
— set out other agreements reached by the founders of the partnership on issues related to the creation of the NCP and its further functioning.
The organization of a partnership provides for the mandatory existence of the rights and obligations of the NCP as an organization.
Responsibilities and rights of the NCP
The main responsibilities of partnerships of all types are set out in the federal laws “On Non-Profit Organizations” and “On Public Associations”. In addition, the NCP as a legal entity is obliged to function in accordance with the requirements of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation for legal entities.
When organizing the activities of a partnership of any type, you must:
— undergo state registration with the Russian Ministry of Justice in accordance with the established procedure and register for tax purposes. Without registration, the NCP does not exist and, therefore, any activity of such an organization is considered illegal with the subsequent application of sanctions (from fines to criminal);
— function in strict accordance with the requirements of the legislation on non-profit organizations and public associations (pursue in practice, and not on paper, socially beneficial goals; do not engage in personal enrichment, etc.);
- have its own estimate (financial balance), which provides support for the material activities of the NCP. In the course of operation, the partnership must honestly account for its profits and expenses;
— to assist its partners in successfully solving comprehensive problems of a non-commercial nature in various legal ways, including doing business;
- be an identified organization, that is, have its own seal, emblem and forms with the full name of the NCP and use them in its activities.
Along with the duties, the NCP is endowed with the following rights.
- Own and properly manage your property and membership fees in the form of cash, securities, things, property rights, services and works, etc.
- Create your own branches and representative offices, as well as manage their work.
- Open cash accounts in domestic and foreign financial institutions.
- Establish other organizations of a commercial and non-profit nature.
The fulfillment of the rights and obligations of the NCP is inextricably linked with the fulfillment of the rights and obligations of its members.
Rights and obligations of NCP members
The obligations and rights of partnership members are established by the constituent documents of the NCP (charter and constituent agreement or agreement). They can be temporary or permanent actions.
Temporary responsibilities include the actions of each partner during the creation of the NCP.
The permanent responsibilities of each partner are making contributions to the property of the NKP, as well as timely and constant payment of membership fees in the established amount. For failure to fulfill permanent duties, a member of the NCP may be expelled from the partnership by a majority vote of its remaining members. The expelled partner has the right to return the corresponding part of the property of the NCP. Previously paid membership fees are not refundable.
Each partner has the following rights:
— participate in the management of the organization without any restrictions;
— have free access to information about the results of the activities of the NCP and use them when making decisions regarding the functioning of the partnership;
— leave the NCP at any time at your own discretion;
— when resigning from membership in the National Communist Party, claim to receive part of the partnership property or its monetary value;
— upon liquidation of the NCP, receive part of its property remaining after full satisfaction of the claims of the partnership’s creditors.
What every member of the NCP does not have the right to do is return the membership fees previously paid to them.
In general, the conscientious fulfillment of duties and rights by each member of the NCP directly depends on the effectiveness of the functioning of the created organization as a whole. Therefore, the issue of choosing partners is far from an idle issue and always requires detailed study. For better preparation of the creation of NCP, you should seek help from specialists.
