Rare Breed Club of South Western Ontario Show
-
This club, founded in 1996, hosts several shows each year. Rare breeds are those not included in the Canadian Kennel Club registry, but the club hosts shows for both rare and recognized breeds. Shows include special classes for spayed or neutered dogs, which are generally not found at dog shows since future breeding is emphasized. Shows are held at a variety of locations. Rosettes are awarded for class placements, and sometimes prizes are also given. Dogs also accumulate points, leading to the year-end "Top Dog" award.
