The model dog world championship competition tour has expanded to 5 days making it the most progressive competition and educational event in the pet industry. 

 

Meet and Greet Day

The events begin with a meet and greet conducted for all teams to gather to prepare their model dogs and for teams, judges, and country leaders to get to know each other. Food and beverages are supplied by the hosting country. All country judges are required to attend this event to monitor the preparation of the model dogs and to answer questions and modify competition rules, if necessary, to continue to make this the most dynamic event in the dog grooming competition world! 

 

Competition Days 

The competitions consist of 3 days of pure breed, free style, and creative styling competitions. Best in class awards are conducted at the end of each day. All model dogs in the competition remain in the arena on display until the final awards and best in the show. This creates a breathtaking visual for spectators, competitors, and judges. It allows judges to evaluate the model dogs throughout the competition to choose the best in show and teams to compare their work against other members and teams. 

​

​

Critique Day

What the judges look for and how to create the ultimate pure breed expressions and profiles. Judges, competitors, and country team leaders gather after the competitions to compare and discuss the differences and the similarities in the trends in the conformation and creative world to educate judges and competitors to form international teams of judges and competitors. 

​

This new education concept created by Vivian Nash, cofounder of IJA, will take competitors and judges to the top. To be an international competitor or judge, the individual must be trained on international styles. A conformation trim presented in the USA can be slightly different than the same trim presented in Europe or Asia.
