Article1- Introduction
The Social Championship aim is to make the most of those canine subjects who
deserve to be significantly marked on the zootechnical aspect because of their exceptional qualities.
The "Social Champion" tytle is assigned during the " Annual Social Championship Show" in an expressely founded category, judged at the end of the developments of the other categories.
The C.I.T. requires a particularly strong attention and severity from the judges designated for the Social Championship class since they have to propose the subjects for such an important tytle. As a matter of fact, only those subjects who will better express the Standard of Breed because of their morphology and character will be conferred on the tytle of Social Champion.
In the evaluation of the character the skilfulness of socialization of each
subject will have great importance.
Since this tytle will be meaningful in the breeding choices too, the confirmation of the tytle will be given only in presence of all those
medical certificates concerning the main hereditary deseases for each breed, in the specific period. Therefore the Club Italiano del Terranova is allowed to ask for any necessary change or integration of health requirements, according with the requests of its Technical Breeding Commitee.
Because of the arguments above mentioned, the Social Champions will be as
much as the judges will consider worthy of.
