For entry into the working class at an FCI dog show, the entry form must be accompanied by a copy of the FCI compulsory certificate, known as the Working Class Certificate (WCC). This certificate verifies that the dog has passed an appropriate test as required by the FCI regulations.
The only breeds eligible for the working class are those appearing as working breeds in the FCI Breed Nomenclature, taking into account the exceptions granted to some countries for some breeds.
Explanation:
FCI Regulations: The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) sets the rules for dog shows, including those for working class entries.
Working Class: This class is for dogs that have proven their working ability through specific tests.
Working Class Certificate (WCC): This document is issued by the national canine organization in the country where the dog's owner resides and confirms that the dog has successfully completed the required working test.
Submission: The WCC copy must be included with the dog's entry form.
Original Document: The original WCC must be presented upon request.
