CONFORMATION
Dog shows (conformation events) are intended to evaluate breeding stock. The size of these events ranges from large all-breed shows with over 3000 dogs entered, to small local specialty club shows, featuring a specific breed. The dog's conformation (overall appearance and structure,)an indication of the dog's abilitly to produce quality puppies , is judged.
AKC registration means a dog, its parents, and its ancestors are purebred. It does not indicate health or quality. Dogs registered with AKC can have their offspring registered and compete in AKC events.
If you are interested in showing your dog off, think it would be great to work one-on-one with your Polish Lowland Sheepdog then talk to PON breeders about getting the right dog. Handling classes are recommended and can usually be found by contacting your local AKC club.
