Conformation
with your Australian Cattle Dog
Simply put, conformation is a "beauty show".

Dogs are judged against the breed standard and compete with each other to earn points toward their championship title. Different Countries use different systems of judging and means for awarding Championship Ttitles. Please see the links below for further information on competing in conformation competition with your Australian Cattle Dog.
