To encourage the entry of junior dogs at shows, from 1 January 2006 the title Dutch Junior Champion (´Nederlands Jeugdkampioen´, abbreviated to NJK) has been established. The NJK title can be placed next to the name of the dog for show registration and will be mentioned on the pedigree of any offspring.

The  Dutch Junior Champion title can be awarded to dogs who have won three first places with the qualification ´Excellent´ in the Junior class at a Dutch CAC and/or CACIB show or championship club show, under at least two different judges.

At the time of registration of the title of ´Nederlands Jeugdkampioen´ the dog automatically receives one CAC.

Dogs entered in the Junior class will still have the chance to be awarded the CAC, according to the regulations in the ´Kynologisch Reglement´.  

The Junior Champion will receive a certificate.

The fee for registration of the title and the CAC, and for production and postage of the certificate can be found under 'Fees'.

 

For registration of the title and postage of the certificate the owner should do the following:

-   send a covering letter requesting for the title to the Raad van Beheer;

-   enclose copies of the three judges reports showing qualification and placing, date of the shows/championship club show,

    and the names of the judges;

-   enclose a copy of the pedigree;

-   state name and address of the owner (which should be according to the Registration Certificate/pedigree)

 

NB No ´Junior Championship card´ is given to dogs who have won 1 Excellent in Junior class.
