The Finnish Kennel Club’s Council approved new show regulations at its meeting on 30th May 2021. The updated dog show regulations make the implementation of Junior and Veteran CACs possible. The Council also approved the Junior and Veteran Champion titles to be included in the Champion Title Regulations. Updated regulations are valid as of 1.1.2022.

Along with the addition made by the Council, a dog cannot be awarded with a certificate (CAC) if it already has the results that entitle for the Finnish Show Champion title. Furthermore, the CAC cannot be awarded for a dog that only needs to meet the additional requirements set for the Show Champion title, or to a dog that has already been awarded with two CACs but is less than 2 years of age. In these cases, the CAC transfers to the next dog awarded with Certificate Quality (CQ).

The Council approved the following additions to the Champion Title Regulations:

Finnish Junior Show Champion (FI JCH)

At least three Junior CACs from Finland under three different judges.
The Finnish Junior Show Champion title is not subject to trial result requirements.
Possible Junior Show Champion titles from other countries do not count towards the Finnish Junior Show Champion title.

Finnish Veteran Show Champion (FI VCH)

At least three Veteran CACs from Finland under three different judges.
The Finnish Veteran Show Champion title is not subject to trial result requirements.
Possible Veteran Show Champion titles from other countries do not count towards the Finnish Veteran Show Champion title.

Junior CAC is awarded to the best Junior Class dog entitled and awarded with CQ in competition class. A dog that already has obtained the show results required for the Finnish Junior Show Champion title cannot be awarded with Junior CAC. No reserve Junior CACs are awarded in Junior Class.

Veteran CAC is awarded to the best Veteran Class dog entitled and awarded with CQ in competition class. A dog that already has obtained the show results required for the Finnish Veteran Show Champion title cannot be awarded with Veteran CAC. No reserve Veteran CACs are awarded in Veteran Class.
