Championship Show
KCP CAC (Championship) Show
Counts towards championship titles & points
The KCP CAC (Championship) Show is the principal national championship event conducted by the Kennel Club of Pakistan, organised to evaluate purebred dogs against their respective breed standards while promoting responsible breeding and good sportsmanship.
Unlike FCI International CACIB Shows, KCP Championship Shows award CACs (Certificat d'Aptitude au Championnat), which count towards the title of Pakistan Champion. Results are officially recorded in the KCP Registry and permanently updated in each dog's profile.

GDCP and PRC Championship CAC Shows
- A GDCP Gundog Show, with or without group competition, follows this format with its own final placings: Best in Show (BIS) and Reserve Best in Show (RBIS), not 2nd or 3rd Best in Show. Best Local Bred of the Show goes to the highest placed Pakistan-bred dog, from any class; where results have not compared the contenders, the judge decides. Stud Book 2 dogs compete in class only and are not eligible.
- A PRC Championship CAC Show takes the Rottweiler only. There is no group competition or separate Best in Show judging: Best of Breed becomes Best in Show and Best of Opposite Sex becomes Reserve Best in Show. If BOS is withheld or absent, no Reserve Best in Show is awarded. Best Local Bred of the Show goes to the highest placed Pakistan-bred dog, from any class; where results have not compared the contenders, the judge decides. Stud Book 2 dogs compete in class only and are not eligible.
Championship Titles
- Pakistan Champion, Pakistan Junior Champion, Pakistan Veteran Champion, Grand Champion.
- All title calculations are performed automatically by the KCP Event Management System.
KCP Points System
Results contribute to the official KCP Points System — points equal the number of dogs defeated, based on the highest award achieved at the show. These points count towards Grand Champion qualification, Dog of the Year, and Hall of Fame rankings.
