This year we attended the Crufts 2000 show with Dalmatian breeder-judge, Mr. Forrest Johnson. Mr. Johnson has retired from showing/breeding Dalmatians and concentrates on Papillions these days. After Crufts, we went over to Ireland for the Irish Kennel Clubs St. Patrick's Day show in Dublin, Ireland. The members of the Irish Dalmatian Club were very nice as well as the English exhibitors.

Instructions for Irish Kennel Club C.A.C.I.B. and Green Star Show

The F.C.I. require that judges must compare each individual exhibit to their standard and grade them accordingly. Dogs of exceptional quality are considered for C.A.C.I.B.(Int. Certificate) and Green Star (National Certificate).

1. Grading:

After each examination all dogs must be graded one of the following by the Judge i.e. "E" (Excellent), "V.G." (Very Good), "G" (Good) and "S" (Sufficient). Dogs with an "S" grading take no further part in the breed judging. The exhibitor will be notified of their exhibits grading by the Steward.

2. Placing:

Dogs with a "G" grading or higher are eligible for placing 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th as decided by the Judge in the scheduled classes.

3. Green Star: (National Title)

Only Unbeaten dogs are eligible to challenge for the Green Star.

Reserve Green Star:

Confined to dogs beaten only by the Green Star winner.

4. C.A.C.I.B. & Reserve:

Confined to dogs over 15 months old with an "E" (Excellent) grading.

5. Best of Breed:

Confined to Green Star winners.

Note:

(i) Where a dog under 15 months wins a Green Star and is not eligible for the C.A.C.I.B. the Judge may award it to another qualified dog.

(ii) All grades and awards must be completed by the Judge in the Judges book.
