In some countries, the most difficult Conformation title for an Italian Greyhound to obtain is the Grand Championship. 

In Canada, a dog is required to get at least 1 Best in Show or Best in National Specialty Show, 3 Group 1s, and 100 points (with a BIS = 10, Gr 1 = 5, Gr 2 = 4, Gr 3 = 3, Gr 4 = 2) PLUS they have to get a non-conformation CKC title.

The Australian one, as of Jan 2010, they have to get 1000 points PLUS a BIS or 4 X Best in Group or 4 X 25 point Challenges.  Challenges are awarded points by 5 points for winning the Challenge, plus 1 point for every dog of that sex defeated.  The BOB dog also gets 1 point for every dog of the opposite sex as well.  They have no Specials class, only dogs and bitches, so there is only potentially 2 dogs to get CC points.

Canadian and Australian GCh can take years to achieve.  They are not to be confused with American Kennel Club Grand Championships which can be obtained in one week-end (with the right competition!)  AKC GCh titles are definitely achievements to be proud of, but are not nearly on the same difficulty level.

We are so very proud to have bred, owned and/or handled the following Grand Champions!  Posh is the first (and still ONLY) Grand Champion IG in Canada!  Wyatt is the first (and still ONLY) Canadian IG to get an Australian Grand Championship!
