The Dogs in Canada Top Dog award system has been going strong since it was established in 1963 and remains a valued and highly anticipated aspect of the Canadian dog fancy.

The Top Show Dogs system awards one point for every dog defeated from Best of Breed to Best in Show.

The Top Obedience Dogs Point System awards points based on a dog’s score each time it qualifies in Open or Utility.

The Top Agility Dogs statistics include Top Dogs by Points, for those that accumulate the most points competing in Excellent B; and Top Dogs by Yards Per Second, which recognizes dogs that run fast and clean but don’t accumulate as many points because they don’t have access to as many trials.

The Top Field Dogs Retriever, Pointing Dog and Lure Courser rankings are compiled independently of Dogs in Canada by volunteer enthusiasts.
