World Dog Show

The World Dog Show (WDS) is a Fédération Cynologique Internationale-sanctioned, four- to six-day-long[1] international dog show, held yearly since 1971.

[2] The World Show includes agility, obedience, junior handler, conformation, and other events and demonstrations.

[3] Dogs who win in any category are awarded the title "World Winner".

[4] The show places a special emphasis on rare and unusual dog breeds.

[3] The top title at the event is Certificat d'Aptitude au Championnat International de Beauté (French for 'Certificate of Aptitude at the International Championship of Beauty'), abbreviated CACIB, for which only purebred specimens of fully recognised, standardised breeds, not provisionally recognised or experimental breeds, may qualify.
