Conformation
The competition for an entered dog is between the Breed Standard and not the other dogs in the ring. Competition starts at the dog’s own breed level (i.e. German Shepherd Dogs) then to their assign Dog Group (i.e. Herding Group) and ends with Best in Show; competing against the best of the best awhile still competing against their Breed Standard. Dog Conformation is America’s second longest running sport, second to the Kentucky Debry, going as far back to the late 1800’s (19 century).
There are multiple levels of championship titles where points are achieved/awarded and then reflected in the dog's registered name i.e. CH, GCH, GCHB, GCHS, GCHG.
