Conformation Dog Shows
At conformation shows, a judge evaluates each dog against the breed standard. The judge awards the dog that they believe best conforms to the breed standard. Each dog entered is evaluated on its physical structure and characteristics, temperament, and movement.

Each breed has been selectively bred to perform a job or function. The breed standard is a documented and accepted description of the ideal specimen of the breed that would be best suited to perform their job. It describes the ideal type, size, structure, gait, coat, colour, and temperament of the breed. Breed standards can be found on the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) website and on breed club websites.

Each breed belongs to 1 of 7 groups that is composed of dogs bred for a similar purpose. The winner of each group competes for Best in Show and Reserve Best in Show.
Dog show best in show competitors
At the group level, breed winners compete for Group 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th placements.
Dog show group competitors
Breed level contenders are divided into Specials (dogs that have earned their championship points) and Class dogs (dogs competing for championship points). The Specials compete for Best of Breed, Best of Opposite Sex, and Select awards that earn Grand Champion points. Winners male (dog) and female (bitch) compete for Best of Winners and Best of Breed or Best of Opposite Sex, giving them an opportunity for additional Champion points.
Dog show breed competitors
At the class level, males (dogs) and females (bitches) compete separately for Winners Dog or Bitch. Each sex is divided into 6 classes. Dogs first compete to win their class before moving on to compete for Winners and Reserve Winners. Dogs entered in Bred by Exhibitor, Canadian Bred, and Open can be of any age. Dogs in Bred by Exhibitor must have been bred by the person handling the dog. Dogs entered in Canadian Bred must have been born in Canada.
