🏔️🇨🇭 ONE TITLE. THREE COUNTRIES. THE ALPENCHAMPION. 🏆

Did you know that your wins in Switzerland, Germany and Austria can be combined towards an Alpenchampion title?

The Alpenchampion titles are jointly awarded by SKG, VDH and ÖKV at selected dog shows across the three countries.

There are three titles to aim for:

🐾 Alpen Jugend Champion
Earn 2 Alpen-Jugend Winner titles in two different countries, under two different judges.

🏆 Alpen Champion
Earn 3 Alpen-Champion Winner titles in all three countries – Switzerland, Germany and Austria – under three different judges, plus one additional CAC qualification from the country where the title is homologated.

🐾 Alpen Veteranen Champion
Earn 2 Alpen-Veteranen Winner titles in two different countries, under two different judges.

🇨🇭 And Geneva can be part of your journey!

The Geneva Dog Show 2026 gives you the opportunity to compete for an Alpen title qualification right here in Switzerland.

🇨🇭🏆 A STEP FURTHER – THE SWISS GRAND CHAMPION

Already a Swiss Show Champion or Swiss Beauty Champion? Then there is another title to aim for: the Swiss Grand Champion! ⭐🐾

To earn this title, your dog must:

🏆 Already hold the Swiss Show Champion and/or Swiss Beauty Champion title
🐾 Win 3 CACs in Champion Class after the Swiss Champion title has officially been awarded
👥 The 3 CACs must be awarded by 3 different judges at International Swiss CACIB Dog Shows
🥇 At least one of these CACs must include 1 CACIB and BOB or BOS
❌ Reserve CACs do not count towards this title

For nationally recognised breeds, special requirements apply.

So even after becoming a Swiss Champion, the journey doesn’t have to end. There’s another prestigious title waiting for you! 🇨🇭🏆

And with 3 CACIB shows in Geneva, you have three more opportunities to continue your journey towards the Swiss Grand Champion title. 🐾
