Just for information, many people think it's a snap to finish a dog 
in Canada (I am Canadian, it actually can be).   However, our Grand 
Championship is more involved and might be harder to attain than the 
AKC one.  It's not just an accumulation of points, here's how it's 
done in Canada.


Points for this title are only accumulated after the completion of 
the Conformation Championship and do not include the points earned in 
attaining the Conformation Championship.

A minimum of 100 points which must include one Best in Show or a Best 
of Breed at a Breed National Specialty (where a minimum of ten dogs 
have competed) or a Best in Multiple Breed Specialty with at least 
five breeds represented; plus 3 group firsts or 3 Breed Specialty 
wins must be earned at Conformation shows.

GRAND CHAMPION POINT SYSTEM
Group 1 or Best in Specialty Show   5 Points
Group 2 or Best of Opposite Single Breed Specialty Show 4 Points
Group 3   3 Points
Group 4   2 Points
(Note: no points are acquired if no other dog is present in the group.)

Best of Breed   1 Point
(To earn the breed point, at least 5 dogs must be shown at breed level)

Best in Show or Best in National Specialty Show or Best in Multi 
Breed Specialty Show 10 Points

Only the highest points earned at a single show are carried 
forward.  For example, a dog that wins Group 1 and then wins Best in 
Show, earns 10 points, not 15.

The dog must have been awarded a title from any CKC event, other than 
Conformation, or awarded a Canine Good Neighbour Certificate."


I actually have an 8 year old who had met all the qualifications by 
the time she was 3 and probably has about 45 of the required points 
to finish.  It would, however, entail her going on a diet and me 
winning a lottery to fund it.  LOL
