Lets talk about Dog Shows: there are numerous kennel clubs in the US, which conduct dog shows. The AKC Kennel ClubShows are not the only ones.
Take the "International Dog Shows"(http://www.iabca.com/index.html ); these shows are like a breath of fresh air. Europe is coming right to your door step; along with their European rules and guidelines. Aren't our dogs not from Europe? Why not being judged by standards from abroad. And in these shows, the dog is judged to the most part within , so, if there are 8 dogs in the ring, and they are all beautiful and show-worthy; they all win!!!
So, go to the link above, learn all about them on their web site, take your dog and let him be a winner!!Int/Multi CH Tiger Man vom Cavalierchen received his International ChampionShip in 2009.
