About Conformation
Dog Shows are known as Conformation Shows as dogs are assessed on their
conformation to the Breed Standard.
To participate in showing your dog, you must be a member of Dogs SA or
Interstate Canine Control and own a pedigreed dog on the main register. All the
relevant information for participating and entering dog shows is published in
the magazine posted each month to members of Dogs SA.
There are more than 198 dog breeds recognised by the Australian National Kennel
Council which are eligible to be shown in Australia and these are divided into
seven groups
- Group 1 (Toy)
- Group 2 (Terriers)
- Group 3 (Gundogs)
- Group 4 (Hounds)
- Group 5 (Working Dogs)
- Group 6 (Utility)
- Group 7 (Non-Sporting)
