French Conformation Champion (CHCS)
The Champion de France de Conformité au Standard (CHCS) is awarded by the Société Centrale Canine (SCC) to dogs that repeatedly confirm their quality in the show ring. Earning it opens access to the Champion class.
The title rests on two things: a set of CACS results gathered at French national shows, and a strong placing at the Nationale d'Élevage. Alongside these ring results, the SCC applies homologation requirements before the title is confirmed.
