Your Longhair or a Blue may be AKC field trialed, NAVHDA Tested, or any kind of field work done and earn a hunt title. They can also be run in agility trials, do obedience, tracking or therapy work and earn titles for this. The only place the Longhairs or Blues are disqualified is in the AKC SHOW CONFORMATION ring. Longhairs and Blues can be shown in the International Show Ring. Blues are now accepted in England and other European countries for confirmation titles.
It is possible to earn an International UCI Title in the United States. The dogs are rated individually, not against the other dogs, so the judges travel instead of the dogs.
The International All Breed Canine Association of America (IABCA) began approximately ten years ago with the intent of making an International "UCI" Championship Title available to the American public while not exposing the dogs to the danger and inconvenience of international travel. To accomplish this, an association was formed with an International Association of dog clubs headquartered in Germany, the Union Cynologie International (UCI). The UCI organization has been in existence for almost 30 years. There are many countries, throughout Europe, North America and the Far East, represented in the association, making it a truly International Organization. Through this International Organization (UCI), International Titles are awarded to dogs who meet the requirements.
IABCA shows are held in accordance with the regulations and guidelines that have been established by UCI. These guidelines provide for a WRITTEN CRITIQUE OF EACH DOG ENTERED and a rating number (see Rating Chart) of how well the dog conforms to the International "UCI" breed standard. The rating a dog received, based on the critique, will determine the type of championship certificate, if any, is awarded in the class (see rating chart and title requirements). However, each dog will receive an "URKUNDE" (certificate of participation) with it's class placement noted.
The International "UCI" standards are based on the "country of origin" for each breed, if possible. NOTE: It is not a requirement that a dog be registered with IABCA to be exhibited at a sanctioned show. However, in order for any certificates awarded to be applicable towards a "UCI" title THE DOG MUST BE REGISTERED WITH IABCA WITHIN 40 DAYS AFTER THE SHOW DATE.
