WGSDCII™ Championship Point System |
![]() |
The word "dog" wherever used in these rules shall include both sexes, unless specifications are necessary. All points are retroactive, so that all dogs that had been winning prior to June 24, 1979, did not lose their points. Also, since most Chapters did not offer Winners Dog, Winners Bitch or Best Of Winners before June 24, 1979, the retroactive points went to all the winners of Best of Breed and Best of Opposite Sex.
- 1.  WGSDCII Championship points will be awarded to the Winners Dog and Winners Bitch at all reserved Chapter and National Convention Shows. Show results must be forwarded to the National Conformation Director and must be printed in the DIN. The Conformation Director can confirm points (or a WGSDCII Championship) awarded to a dog prior to show results being printed in the DIN if he/she has received all show results showing the points earned by that dog. The Conformation Director CANNOT confirm points awarded at a show for which he/she has not received show results in writing. Any show results or championships that have not been confirmed by printing in the DIN but are published elsewhere (e.g., in a Chapter's newsletter) MUST contain the notation that the results being reported are "unconfirmed" or are "pending confirmation."
- 2.  A dog whose championship is unconfirmed, either by printing in the DIN or in writing by the Conformation Director, may only be shown in the Best of Breed class for a period of ninety (90) days from the show at which, according to the owner's records, the dog completed its championship requirements.
- 3.  Points will be recorded according to the number of eligible dogs of each sex competing in the regular classes, according to the Schedule of Points below.
- 4.  Below are the required number of dogs, then bitches, needed to win the specified number of points. Major points are 3, 4 and 5 points.
Schedule of Points 1 Point
2 - 22 Points
3 - 33 Points
5 - 54 Points
8 - 85 Points
11 - 11- 5.  The dog awarded Best of Winners shall be credited with the number of points calculated for Winners Dog or Winners Bitch, whichever is greater.
- 6.  If the dog designated Winners Dog or Winners Bitch is also awarded Best of Breed, the Specials (champions) of both sexes entered for Best of Breed competition that have been defeated in such competition shall be counted in addition to the dogs that competed in the regular classes in calculating championship points.
- 7.  If the dog designated Winners Dog or Winners Bitch is also awarded Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed, the Specials (champions) of its own sex entered for Best of Breed competition that have been defeated in competition for Best of Opposite Sex shall be counted in addition to the dogs that competed in the regular classes for its sex in calculating championship points.
- 8.  In counting the number of eligible dogs in competition, a dog that is disqualified, dismissed, excused or ordered from the ring by the judge or from which all awards are withheld will not be included.
- 9.  No more than two (2) points (providing there are enough dogs in competition for the award of two points) can be awarded to any dog that has won Winners Dog, Winners Bitch, Best of Winners, Best of Breed or Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed when a member of the White German Shepherd Dog Club International or any of its Chapters is the Conformation Judge.
- 10.  Any dog which shall have won fifteen (15) points shall be declared a WGSDCII Champion IF six (6) or more of said points have been won at two (2) different shows with a rating of three (3) or more points each and under two different judges. One or more of the balance of required points must be won under some other judge or judges than the two awarding the major points
- 11.  The 15 points required to become a champion must be earned from shows in at least 2 separate states. The location of the show, not the hosting Chapter, shall determine the "state of the win. One win of at least 2 points must come from a show in the second state. For this purpose, the International Convention Show (usually held on Sunday of an International Convention weekend) will be considered a win in a second state.
- 12.  No points are awarded to Reserve Winners Dog or Reserve Winners Bitch unless the Winners Dog or Winners Bitch shall be stripped of its points or not awarded its points as a result of a formally filed complaint for specific reasons.
