What A Dog
Show Is All About
Pocono Mountain Kennel Club sponsors two AKC dog shows
yearly in September, offering breed confirmation
judging, obedience trials and rally events.
Confirmation Events are offered and
intended to evaluate the overall appearance and
structure to meet each of the breed standards approved
by the American Kennel Club.
At a
point show, points are awarded towards a dog’s
championship.
Obedience Trials
test a dog's ability to perform a prescribed set of
exercises on which it is scored. In each exercise, you
must score more than 50 percent of the possible points
and get a total score of at least 170 out of a possible
200. Each time your dog gets at least a 170 qualifying
score, he's earned a "leg" toward his title. Earn three
legs and your dog has just earned an obedience title!
Rally Events
. Rally provides a link from the Canine Good
Citizen® (CGC) program to obedience or agility
competition, both for dogs and handlers. It is a sport
in which the dog and handler complete a course that has
been designed by the rally judge In addition, rally
promotes fun and enjoyment for dogs at all levels of
competition.
