Conformation Showing
The object of conformation showing is to evaluate breeding stock. Dogs of the same breed compete for points. When a dog wins enough points, it becomes a champion.
In the United States there are two different registries that hold conformation shows, the AKC and UKC.
To see the AKC beginners guide for showing click here.
The AKC breed standard is the same except for size in the toy, miniature, and standard poodle.

Currently UKC allows parti-colored poodles, these are poodles of more than one color. AKC allows only poodles of solid colors for conformation showing. Parti-colored poodles can compete in all other AKC events.
