A progeny group consists of a sire or dam with 3-5 of his/her progeny (first generation, sons/daughters).

The dogs must be entered for the show in the champion class, junior class, intermediate class, open class, working class or veteran class and have obtained either Excellent or Very Good at the show in question. The sire or dam may, however, be entered for the show outside judgment. Minor puppies and puppies cannot take part in the group.

It is only possible to enter one group after the same sire or dam. The exhibitor must own the entered sire or dam. The owner of the sire/dam must obtain the dog owners’ confirmation for their dogs’ participation in the progeny group.

A dog can at the same show take part in a progeny group after both the dog’s mother and the dog’s father.

A breeder’s group consists of 3-5 exhibits of the same breed and variety, without distinction of sex, bred by the same person (same kennel name), even if they are not under his/her ownership. The breeder’s group can only be entered by the breeder (owner of the kennel name).

The dogs must be entered for the show in the champion class, junior class, intermediate class, open class, working class or veteran class - and have obtained either Excellent or Very Good at the show in question. Minor puppies and puppies cannot take part in the group.

The group’s homogeneity is emphasised in the judging, though without regards to whether the dogs are of the breed’s different variants of colour. (Please note that only the variants of colour, size, and coat that according to the FCI Breed Nomenclature share the same CACIB can constitute a breeder’s group).

Each breeder can only enter one breeder’s group within each breed. It is the breeder’s duty to obtain the dog owners’ confirmation for their dogs’ participation in the breeder’s group.

The breeder decides which dogs should constitute the breeder’s group among the entered dogs of his/her breeding who have obtained Excellent or Very Good at the show in question.
