2012 Hudson Valley Cluster of Dog Shows
The upcoming 2012 Hudson Valley Cluster of Dog Shows will be held June 21-23 at a location to be announced. The schedule is as follows for participating clubs:
Wallkill - June 21
Shawangunk - June 22
MHKA - June 23
Also known as conformation, all-breed and point shows, dog shows provide a venue in which dogs are evaluated as future breeding stock. Each dog is judged against its breed's Standard. Each of the recognized AKC breeds has its own written Standard, which describes the ideal size, temperament, color, movement and structure of each breed. At a dog show, dogs compete for points which advance them to the title of Champion. In order to earn a Championship, a dog must have 15 points and 2 major wins that were awarded by 3 different judges at separate shows.
