Hello Annette In answer to your query - Our New Zealand Kennel Club recognises the American Kennel Club as the governing body for the USA and recognises and accept pedigrees/Championship titles issued by them. To my knowledge the NZKC does not recognise and accept pedigrees/Championship titles issued by the CKCSC. This would also apply to Judges unfortunately, although NZ Judges haven't been sanctioned in the past (including myself judging in 1995 as Cavaliers weren't fully recognised by the AKC then). I think you will find the same rules apply in other countries too if you tried to register a pedigree issued for a CKCCS registry only dog. I would presume this also applies to the recognition of Championship status. The AKC does not recognise and record titles from countries other than it's own, which is very disappointing and an issue which they have been taken to task on by several countries ruling bodies. As we all know those international titles are something hard-won and to be extremely proud of.

Which countries would not recognise CKCSC Ch. on a pedigree but would recognise AKC Ch.? Again just curious. Lastly why shouldn't a Championship show be a "social" event as well as competitive?- I can think of several in the UK which would be considered such - I would seriously miss my sherry and mince pies at the Midland Club champ show if they ever stopped it and the CKCS Club show I am sure most from overseas who have attended would agree is very definitely a social event.
