                                         American Dog Federation Shows
Are  breeder,owner and family friendly, the ADF promotes an atmosphere of sportsmanship in the
dog fancy as it is meant to be. American Dog Federation licensed judges put the  emphasis  on the
dog, not the handler, on the conformation of the dog not its showmanship, however it is prudent to
have good ring manners. The serious exhibitor should accustom their dog to not only the hustle
and bustle of shows but the demands of the show ring. While it is a advantage to have your dog
stand like a statue for examination please remember  the judges are judging each dog individually,
not against one another but simply on the merit of his conformation. Dogs are judged against one
another for the Grand Champion, Grand Champion Supreme and Register of Merit titles. A
balanced dog always stands out in any crowd.
The ADF does not tolerate poor sportsmanship toward another handler or dog and will be warned
only once before being asked to leave the showgrounds.
ADF championships are gained by having 3 judges rate your dog A-1 Championships can be
reached in 1 show. For more information  on titles to be gained please take Show Infromation link at
the top of the page.
