hi can someone explain how you get it and what does it mean thanks dawn

You get 1st, 2nd or 3rd in some classes at Champ shows (Limit or Open in my breed), or a CC or RCC, or a JW, or a ShCM I think. Not sure what else gets you one. It qualifies you for Crufts for life, and your dog is entered in the KC stud book or something. Bit vague myself tbh even though my boy has one!

ShCM doesnt get you a stud book number.

The stud book numbers are allocated for the breeds as follows

This is all so new to me as we only get CCs at Crufts this year -presumably all of this is at shows WITH tickets on?

Thanks. :)

Ah, I knew ShCM qualified you for something but wasn't sure what - sorry! :-)
