IABCA Announcement

IABCA and International Dog Shows will now be an independent organization.  We still stand as an International show venue, very little will change for our customers.  The classes, the title structure, the scoring, the registrations, the show entries, and the ring procedures will all remain the same.  We will still offer our European-style International Dog Shows with written critiques for each dog.  We will still hold shows all over North America, including over 20 US states and Canada.  At each show we will still use both American (AKC) and International judges, including judges from Canada, Australia, Colombia, Germany, Puerto Rico, Sweden, and more.  With our independence we will be able to better serve our exhibitors.  We will be a more nimble and open organization, able to make improvements and upgrades that better benefit our North American customer base.  We will be able to publish a list of accepted breeds and be able to make quicker decisions on accepting new breeds.  We have improved our titles and will be able to process titles with a faster turnaround.  We will improve our Registration Books (passbooks).  As part of our new re-organization we will have a new Contact info page and new office hours.  For more info please go to our Contact Us page.  We feel these changes will benefit IABCA, International Dog Shows, and our valued exhibitors. Thank you for your support.

Introducing the IABCA Grand Sieger Best in Show competition.

Each show weekend one dog will be chosen as Grand Sieger Best in Shows. The dogs eligible to compete for Grand Sieger will be all he Best in Show winners from Shows 1, 2, 3, and 4. This will include BIS: Puppy, Bred-by-Exhibitor Puppy, Adult, BBX Adult, Veteran, Rare Breed Puppy, Rare Breed Adult, and Gold Cup winner.

The Grand Sieger competition begins with the 2009 Evergreen Winter Sieger. The Grand Sieger Best in Shows awards will accumulate throughout the year and a Leader Board will be posted on our website. The points will be awarded by the number of total dogs defeated (the total number of individual dogs in a show weekend). The rankings will be used to seed the dogs in a Grand Sieger Invitational show to be announced later this year. The Grand Sieger Invitational Show competition will be a Heads-Up tournament style competition. Dogs will go head to head until there is only one left. The inaugural Grand Sieger Heads-Up Invitational show will be held in fall of 2010 in Purina Farms' new Dog Show Center being built now.

The Grand Sieger Invitational will be explained in further detail over the next year. Keep watching the website for more details.
