Earn a Breed Club Championship!

Our members have the opportunity to earn a Breed Club Championship at dog shows throughout the United States . Once earned, the title of "Champion" will be recorded and automatically entered on all USACTC registration certificates and pedigrees. Upon completion of a championship, you will receive a USACTC Champion Certificate suitable for framing.

The USACTC Championship Point System is based upon the AKC championship point system format. The AKC Point System is universally accepted as the most equitable system under which to win the title of "Champion." The AKC Point System format is the one used at most rare breed dog shows. This Point System ensures that only top quality Cotons are able to earn the honor of the title "Champion" in front of their names. The USACTC championship points can be earned through all accredited dog show organizations.

Requirements to Become a USACTC Champion:

Each dog must earn a total of 15 points acquired through accredited dog show organizations. ( Maximum points awarded per show is 5 points.) Included in these 15 points are at least two shows called majors. Majors are shows with enough Cotons competing to be awarded 3 points, 4 points, or 5 points at any one show. Additional points can be earned as single points. For example, two majors with at least 3 points won at two shows (total of 6) and single points from several smaller shows (totaling 9) would equal the required 15 points. The number of points awarded to the winners are based on the number of Cotons shown per sex.

Minimum Age of Dog to Earn Points:

Six months of age.

Who Can Participate:

Participation in the USACTC Championship program is open to all USACTC members and their USACTC-registered Cotons.

How to Participate:

To Participate and to have your Coton's championship points credited towards its Championship, then you must complete the USACTC "Win Sheet" and return it to the Championship Point Coordinator. Win Sheets need to be turned in within 2 weeks of the show date, and only those dogs who win Winners Dog, Winners Bitch, Best of Winners, Best of Breed, Best of Opposite, Group Placement, or Best in Show are eligible to receive points.
