Slovak Championship for Working Breeds – simpler than most people think! (but only if the dog has a valid working test — this is the key requirement!)
Many exhibitors don’t realize that working breeds have slightly different requirements for the Slovak Beauty Champion title compared to non-working breeds.
Here it is clearly and simply:
What is a “working breed”?
➡️ A breed for which the FCI requires a working test as a condition for the C.I.B. (International Beauty Champion) title.
This includes breeds with natural working ability: service, herding, guarding and many hunting breeds.
The crucial requirement is:
👉 having a valid Working Certificate
(and this is often the hardest part of the entire process)
Requirements for the Slovak Champion title – Working Breeds:
- 2 × CAC (instead of 4 × CAC required for non-working breeds)
- from two different show seasons
- under two different judges
- at least one CAC must be from an International show (CACIB)
- the dog must have a valid Working Certificate
- resCAC cannot replace CAC
- CACs cannot be used for other championships
- a Working Certificate must be attached to the application
Why is this important?
Many exhibitors assume that working breeds also need 4 × CAC like all others. But in reality — if the dog has a valid working certificate — only 2 × CAC in two seasons are required.
And that’s why the Nitradog Christmas Cup (4 shows in December) can be a perfect opportunity to complete what’s missing — whether you already have 1 CAC from a previous season, or you are just starting to collect CACs for the working-breed version of the Slovak Champion title.
