Information wanted

[Silvia Lindner-Rae]

Hi,
can you help me with information as to what is neccessary for the Belgian Champion - a friend of mine would like to know and we could not find anything.
Thanks!

That's what I've found:
4 CAC (minimum 1 at international show) under 3 different judges,
between the first and last CAC, a minimum period of one year and one day must have elapsed
(CAC in Brussels = 2x 'normal' CAC)

[Silvia Lindner-Rae]

Thank you, where did you find this?

[Laura Kolbach]

for setters you also need a working test, i think it should be done there, not any country, but it is best to ask the club itself.

[Silvia Lindner-Rae]

Not in Belgium - no tests needed there!

[Laura Kolbach]

i am 99% sure that you need it.

[Silvia Lindner-Rae]

I will ask Yvonne - I did not think her dogs had any working tests. Same as Benny - they defintely do not!

[Laura Kolbach]

but they are not belgian champions!! only netherlands...

[Silvia Lindner-Rae]

I see!

[Silvia Lindner-Rae]

what is CQN? And how is the qualifier?
There are other countries, where you need a working test, but in some you can use the one you need for the Interchamp - which makes more sense anyway. Those different rules are not really sensible in many ways.

[Silvia Lindner-Rae]

Super, my dog has this one, and some more, but of course not in Belgium. But as you all know, Belgium is not any of my favourite destinies any more!

[Laura Kolbach]

CQN = Certificat de Qualités Naturelles. and is not recognized as qualification in most of the countries in this part of europe. only good, very good and excellent.

[Silvia Lindner-Rae]

Well, we will of course have to through Belgium every time we go to Britain, but for the time being we are not going - we have puppies, so no Crufts and Dublin or the Festival will not see us either as my daughter will have her first baby just then. I do have my priorities.
