The basic purpose of dog shows is to facilitate the evaluation of
breeding stock for use in producing the next generations.
JUDGING AND STANDARDS
Each breed's parent club creates a STANDARD, a written description of
the ideal specimen of that breed. Generally relating form to function,
i.e., the original function that the dog was bred to perform, most
standards describe general appearance, movement, temperament, and
specific physical traits such as height and weight, coat, colors, eye
color and shape, ear shape and placement, feet, tail, and more. Some
standards can be very specific, some can be rather general and leave
much room for individual interpretation by judges. This results in the
sport's subjective basis: one judge, applying his or her interpretation
of the standard, giving his or her opinion of the best dog on that
particular day. Standards are written, maintained and owned by the
parent clubs of each breed.
BENCHED SHOWS
The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is one of the few benched dog
shows in this country. Originally, most shows were "benched" in some
fashion, where the entered dogs were required to be in assigned areas
(on benches) at all times when not being judged in the ring. This
allowed for interaction of dogs and their owners with spectators and
other owners and breeders as an educational process.
GROUPS
SPORTING: These are gun dogs that were developed to assist the hunter,
and generally have high energy and stable temperaments. Pointers and
Setters point and mark the game, Spaniels flush the bird, Retrievers
recover the game from land or water.
HOUND: Hounds were originally classified as Sporting dogs, but were
assigned their own group in 1930. These dogs are hunters that bring
down the game themselves, or hold it at bay until the hunter arrives,
or locate the game by tracking it by scent. Sighthounds hunt by sight,
Scenthounds by tracking with their superior olfactory senses.
WORKING: These dogs are generally intelligent and powerfully built,
performing a variety of tasks, including guarding homes and livestock,
serving as draft animals, and as police, military and service dogs.
TERRIER: "Terrier" comes from the Latin word, terra (ground) as these
determined and courageous dogs must be small enough and agile enough to
"go to ground" to pursue their quarry (rats, foxes, and other vermin).
All but the Australian Terrier and the Miniature Schnauzer were
developed in the United Kingdom.
TOY: Toy dogs were bred to be companions for people. They are full of
life and spirit and often resemble their larger cousins (e.g.,
Pomeranian as a Nordic breed, the Papillon a little Spaniel, and the
Toy Poodle the smallest variety of the Poodle).
NON-SPORTING: The AKC originally registered dogs as either Sporting or
Non-Sporting. Hounds and Terriers split off the Sporting Group, Toys
and Working from the Non-Sporting, and later, Herding from the Working
Group. The remaining dogs, with a great diversity of traits not fitting
any of the above, comprise the Non-Sporting Group.
HERDING: This group split off from the Working Group in 1983. Herding
is a natural instinct in dogs, and their purpose is to serve ranchers
and farmers by moving livestock from one place to another.
TERMINOLOGY
BEST OF BREED (BOB): The dog selected or the award made by a judge to
that dog chosen as the best representative of the Breed. Similarly,
Best of Variety (BOV) is the same award given to the best
representative of a Variety exhibited that day (see VARIETY). In either
case, those dogs selected BOB and those selected BOV each advance to
their groups.
BEST OF OPPOSITE SEX (BOS): The dog selected as the best in competition
of the opposite sex of the BOB or BOV winner. This dog does not
advance.
VARIETY: A division of a breed based on coat, color, or size. For
example, Poodles (size: Standard, Miniature, Toy), Cocker Spaniels
(color: Black, Parti-color, ASCOB); Collies (coat: Rough, Smooth).
AWARD OF MERIT: At the discretion of the judge, an additional award
made to outstanding entries that are not judged to be either BOB / BOV
or BOS.
BEST IN SHOW (BIS): The award or the dog selected from among the seven
finalists as the best dog among all entries.
CHAMPION: A title or the dog that has earned a certain number of points
(15) in competition with wins in AKC shows. A dog must be a champion to
enter Westminster.
BREEDER: The owner of the dam when she was bred to produce the dog.
BREEDER-OWNER-HANDLER: An individual who bred, owns and handles that
dog. Similarly, an Owner-Handler is someone who handles a dog that they
also own.
BREEDER-JUDGE: Someone licensed to judge dogs of their breed.
PROFESSIONAL HANDLER: Someone who handles a dog for a fee.
ALL ROUNDER: An individual licensed to judge every breed.
STANDARD: The written description of the traits and movement of the
ideal specimen of a breed, generally based on form and function. Each
parent club creates and maintains their breed standard. Judges are to
judge dogs by comparing them to the standard for their breed.
CONFORMATION: The structure and physical characteristics of a dog.
STACK: The pose itself or the posing of the dog by a handler in its
natural stance.
GAIT: The action of movement of the dog. Generally speaking, a sound
and balanced gait usually indicates proper conformation and structure.
BREED TYPE: The manifestation of those unique traits and
characteristics of a dog that distinguish it as a particular breed.
BENCHED SHOW: A show where dogs are required to be on assigned benches
while not being shown. This allows all concerned - spectators,
breeders, handlers and owners - the opportunity to interact, ask
questions, and share information about the various breeds.
LIMITED ENTRY: Where the entry is governed by certain parameters set by
the club, such as total number of dogs or champions only; or in Junior
Showmanship, a certain number of qualifying wins for the handler.
CATALOG: The compilation by breed of all dogs entered in the show,
listing armband numbers, birthdates, sire and dam, breeders and owners.
