The Green Star System
The Number Of The number of Green Stars required for a Championship Title is seven, to be gained under 7 different judges.
The dog must be graded Excellent or in the case of a puppy Very Promising, to challenge for the Green Star.
Grading cards will be issued by the IKC.
Champions are eligible to challenge for the Green Star.
One Green Star must be won after the dog has reached the age of fifteen months.
There will be no enhancement for group wins.
Points won under the old system will be converted as follows:
|
Dogs having won |
1 - 5 points
|

|
= |
2 Green Stars |
|
|

|
= |
3 Green Stars |
|

4 Green Stars |

Dogs having won more than 32 points under the old Green Star system must win one Green Star under the new system to be awarded the title of Champion.
The title of Annual Champion in each breed is awarded to the dog with the highest number of Green Stars won in the calendar year ie 1st Jan – 31st Dec. In the event of a tie the award is made to the dog with the greatest number of Best of Breed wins.
It is proposed to implement this system from the 1st January 2007 with a review in 2009.
