WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT THE NCA?
RARE BREEDS. The NCA offers a RARE BREED GROUP. This will provide rare breeds an opportunity to gain
championship and other titles through national all-breed events. Competition will be within the respective breeds with Best of
Breed winners advancing to the RARE BREED GROUP. Group winners will advance to Best in Show.
PUREBRED COMPANION DOGS. (This is a dog show class only.)
The NCA believes all dogs are created equal. The NCA has established two categories for the purebred companion dog
class:
PUREBRED RESCUE DOGS – The NCA believes the individuals who own rescue dogs deserve special recognition and
accommodations to meet their desire to participate in competitive events. Accordingly, the NCA has established a
special registry and competition for these purebred rescue dogs. Purebred rescue dogs should be registered as such on
Purebred Rescue Dog NCA Form #4 (not included in this announcement) and when competing at NCA events should be
entered in the Purebred Companion Dog class.
b) PUREBRED DOGS WHO CANNOT BE SHOWN IN THE REGULAR CLASSES – There are a number of reasons
why a properly registered purebred dog cannot be shown in the regular classes for competition. Additionally, an
owner may realize that their particular dog is not up to competing in the regular show classes. These purebred dogs
should be registered on the enclosed Purebred Single Dog Registration Application NCA Form #1 and when competing
at NCA events should be entered in the Purebred Companion Dog class.
a)
3
Normally, there will be one class for purebred companion dogs to include dogs and bitches. However, when the number of
entries within a particular Group warrants, the dogs may compete by Group. A Recognition of Achievement certificate will be
awarded to a dog that has attained twenty (20) points from this class.
SPAYED OR NEUTERD DOGS. While the NCA values the role of the breeder, we believe the sport of dogs should be
opened to more than just breeding stock. Therefore, properly registered purebred dogs, which have been neutered or spayed,
are eligible to be shown and compete in the regular classes of their respective breed through Best of Breed, Group and Best in
Show provided the breed standard does not specifically disqualify spayed or neutered dogs. (If the breed standard states
spayed or neutered as a disqualification, these dogs may be entered in the Purebred Companion Dog class.)
CONCERNING NCA REGISTRATION OF DOGS
FOR THOSE DOGS NOT PREVIOUSLY REGISTERED WITH THE NCA – IT IS STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED ELIGIBLE DOGS BE REGISTERD ALONG WITH DAY-OF-SHOW ENTRY or by
mailing an NCA registration application (included with this event announcement) directly to the NCA. Dogs
must be eligible for registration by being registered with one of the NCA recognized registries, i.e. American
Kennel Club, Canadian Kennel Club, United Kennel Club, etc. It is important to note that in order for the
Winners D/B, BOB, Group and BIS winners to be awarded points toward their NCA championship, they
MUST be registered with the NCA within twenty-one (21) days after the show date. Registration applications
are available on our web site www.nationalcanine.com, (click on “FORMS”) or by emailing
ksawyer@nationalcanine.com. Submit with check to NCA, 5 Wagon Wheel Way, Ocala, FL 34482 or with your
entries. You MUST attach a copy of the dog’s other registration papers, i.e. AKC, CKC, UKC, or any other NCA
recognized registry. List ONE OWNER. Registration applications will also be available at the show.
