There is only one 'official' ranking, and that is the Canadian Kennel Club ranking. The CKC issues certificates in April of the year following competition, and does not publish them until July. Until certificates are issued, no-one truly knows the official standings so it's always exciting! Sometimes you have an idea where your dog ranks, but then there can be things you aren't aware of, like absentees, revoked wins, etc. That is why you will sometimes see the words "pending CKC confirmation" following a dog's stated ranking, because until those certificates are issued, it is not official. There is two other systems in Canada that track rankings based on group placings and Specialty wins alone. Those are the CanuckDogs rankings and BestDogInCanada rankings. Both use the same method, which does not consider absentees or breed wins. One must always keep proper perspective when showing dogs. Finishing the year with a Nationally ranked dog is a thrill, but it should never be more important than having fun with your dog. Not all dogs enjoy being shown... and yet some love it. For some, the week-end away with Mom is a time of bonding, a time of special attention. Others do it because we ask it of them but would really much rather stay home. I always let the dog indicate to me how short or long it's show career should be. It's not about winning or losing, but about both me and my dog having a good time. If the dog is not enjoying itself, I'm not enjoying myself, so why prolong the misery? As soon as it quits being fun for the dog, they get to stay home. The following dogs have been recognized at the National levels. Please click on the dog's name to go to his or her own page.
