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.

IABCA - International All Breed Canine Association

The International All Breed Canine Association of America (IABCA) began more than twenty years ago with the intent of making an International "UCI" Championship Title available to the American public while not exposing the dogs to the danger and inconvenience of international travel. To accomplish this, an association was formed with an International Association of dog clubs headquartered in Germany, the Union Cynologie International (UCI). The UCI organization has been in existence for over 30 years. There are many countries, throughout Europe, North America and the Far East, represented in the association, making it a truly International Organization. Through this International Organization (UCI), International Titles are awarded to dogs who meet the requirements.

IABCA shows are held in accordance with the regulations and guidelines that have been established by UCI. These guidelines provide for a WRITTEN CRITIQUE FOR EACH DOG ENTERED and a rating number of how well the dog conforms to the International "UCI" breed standards. The International 'UCI' standards are based on the 'country of origin' for each breed, if possible.

International Dog Shows - Alle Rasse Gruppe

International Dog Shows (also known as Alle Rasse Gruppe, German for All Breed Club) is the Dog Show arm of IABCA. It is a family business that has been operating nationally for twenty years. We put on dog shows all across the US (with some shows in Canada as well). The company is licensed through our parent company, Union Cynologie International (UCI). UCI is a German dog club that has shows throughout Europe, as well as licensed shows in parts of Asia, and South America.
