Rules For
Obtaining A
American Rare Breed Association Championship
To become an ARBA Champion,
the following is required:
1.
As of 1/1/98, Nine(9)
CAC-US
(Certificate of Aptitude for Championship in the United States) must be given
from 6 different Judges to a dog whose breed is fully recognized by ARBA.
2. Classes that are divided by sex which a dog may be eligible to compete
for CAC-US: 6-9 Months, 9-15 Months, Bred by Exhibitor, American Bred & Open.
3. Effectively July 1, 1999, the American Rare Breed Association will no
longer offer the Breed Club Class as one of its classes for its shows.
4. Only
ARBA Champions will be eligible for Best of Breed Class
ARBA Jr. Champions are not eligible for the Best of Breed Class.
(ARBA Jr. Champions are dogs that were shown at an ARBA show before
1/1/98)
5.
The first,
second, third and fourth place dog in each class will receive a
Rating. The dogs/bitches will be rated as one of the
following: Excellent, Very Good, Satisfactory or Good. A first place
dog or bitch must receive a rating of excellent to be eligible for a CAC-US and
to compete in the winners class. In other words, if the first place dog is
not rated by the Judge as excellent, it will not be able to compete in the
winners class and won't be eligible to receive a CAC-US. The CAC-US will
be indicated on the judges sheet and accounted for by ARBA.
6. ARBA will notify you when you have attained all the requirements
which qualifies your dog as an American Rare Breed Champion. You must then
follow all the rules and regulations to receive your championship certificate.
No dog will be officially an American Rare Breed Champion until the certificate
of championship is issued.
