Here are some pictures of my American smooth collie Chanel. She's an AKC Gold (almost Platinum) Grand Champion and BIS! She has such a sweet temperament and loves to take care of puppies. She'll even fetch sometimes if she feels like it!
She is gorgeous! In my opinion, the Smooth Collie deserves to be a lot more popular than it is. Great to see such sweet pictures of her at home too. Could you explain the Grand Champion format for us? Some of us, (like me), in the UK don't know how these titles are gained. It would be good to hear first hand, how much winning is needed for these titles.
Thank you! I'll try, but bear with me as I'm not the best at explaining things. In the AKC there are different tiers to championships, which basically means once your dog has X number of grand champion points they have a new title. Grand champion points are awarded after completing the champion title. Bronze - 100 Points Silver - 200 Points Gold - 400 Points Platinum - 800 Points There are even more Platinum tiers but I'm just going to leave it at that... Did I even answer your question? I tried...
What an elegant dog, and lovely to see her standing so beautifully on a slack leash without her pulled up by a tight show leash. Gorgeous little toddler too!
Thank you, that is very useful. Chanel must have given you some lovely moments along the way. I hope she makes her Platinum title for you.
