Mendikan Clanci Bema CM1  CGC     Congratulations to Clanci! Clanci has become the first female Kooikerhondje to earn a Certificate of Merit from the AKC’s Miscellaneous Class. Clanci is co-owned with Golden Gate Kooikerhondje. The breeds currently eligible to participate in the Miscellaneous Class are still enrolled in the AKC Foundation Stock Service®. FSS® enrollment is maintained until the AKC Board of Directors accepts the breed for regular status. Authorities acknowledge that throughout the world there are several hundred distinct breeds of purebred dogs, not all of which are AKC recognized breeds. Those officially recognized for AKC registration appear in the Stud Book of the American Kennel Club. The AKC provides for a regular path of development for a new breed, which may result in that breed’s full recognition and appearance in the official Stud Book as an AKC recognized breed.

Winners of the Best of Breed in each of the individual Miscellaneous breeds will be awarded points towards the Certificate of Merit (CM) title based on the total number of dogs competing. Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed in each of the individual Miscellaneous breeds will be awarded points towards the Certificate of Merit (CM) title based on the total number of dogs of its sex in competition. The winner of the Best in Miscellaneous Class will be awarded points towards a Certificate of Merit based upon the total number of dogs that competed in all of the Miscellaneous Class breeds.

Upon completion of the CM title a dog may continue to compete in the Miscellaneous Class so long as they are of an eligible breed.

The CM suffix title is an introductory title to AKC conformation events and will be superseded by the CH title when earned. The Certificate of Merit requires 15 points awarded in accordance with the following point structure:

Great job Susanne and Finn!

Finn is awarded Best of Breed shown by his co-owner, Susanne Martin of Golden Gate Kooikers. Thank you Susanne for a job well done! I also want to thank Deborah Bean for showing Finn when Susanne could not be there and Barbara Glanci for holding dogs for me. I could not have managed 4 dogs without all of their help.
