Dutch Grand Champion
The Grand Champion title from the Raad van Beheer recognises a dog that has proven itself across every stage of its show career. It brings together three separate championship titles earned at different points in a dog's life, from its junior year through to its veteran years.
What's required?
- ✓ Hold all underlying titles: Nederlands Jeugdkampioen, Nederlands Kampioen, Nederlands Veteranenkampioen
Earning the Grand Champion title
A dog qualifies for Grand Champion once it holds all three of the underlying titles: Junior Champion (NL JCH), Champion (NL CH) and Veteran Champion (NL VET CH). Each of these is achieved separately, and together they cover the junior, adult and veteran phases of a show career.
The title is granted automatically as soon as the three required titles are in place. There is no separate application to complete once the conditions are met.
