Showing in Italy, Germany and Switzerland

Italy

ENCI (Ente Nazionale della Cinofilia Italiana) runs a very busy calendar. The national certificate is the CAC; the national title is the Italian beauty championship.

Germany

The VDH (Verband für das Deutsche Hundewesen) and breed clubs award national certificates, often called "Anwartschaft" (CAC VDH). The big event of the year is held in Dortmund. Grades are given in German: Vorzüglich for Excellent.

Switzerland

The Swiss Kennel Club (SCS / SKG) is an FCI member. Switzerland is not in the EU but accepts the EU pet passport. Remember Swiss francs and the customs rules for any equipment and products you bring.

Rules change: always check the current conditions on the national kennel club's and the organiser's websites before entering.
