The American Dog federation has a unique program that allows both you and your dog to Obtain Conformation/Dog Show and Obedience titles in a stress free and safe environment. Very similar to the same idea of children and adults getting degrees and home schooling online The American Dog Federation gives you and your dog a great opportunity to title your dog.There is no traveling to shows in hot weather, no fees for a professional handler, no hotels, no hours on the road. What you do need however is a video camera. Your dog is judged on his/her own merit by 3 knowledgeable judges. No title is issued unless the dog is deserving. The American Dog Federation will call after reviewing your video to confirm that your dog is worthy of the title that he is being judged for. If your dog is not qualified your check will be returned to you marked not accepted if paying with a credit card we will not charge your account unless the dog is deserving of an American Dog Federation Championship All videos become the property of the American Dog Federation.

Conformation/Show Title - At the start of the video please state your dogs name, sex and breed.Please use a show dog lead (dog collars recommended martingale, rescoe are great) and show collar. Dog collars and dog leashes should be show collars and show leads. Baiting your dog with his favorite squeaky dog toy or treat is encouraged, sounds are also great if your dog shows interest, we are looking for animation while in the stacked position. ( 1 )After you have presented your dog on video in the stacked/stand position he must stand while the individual with the camcorder takes the front side and rear of the dog (about 30 seconds). Small dogs should be presented on a grooming table or table with non slip footing when in the stacked/stand position. ( 2 )A video will also be taken of the dogs movement. Position the helper in the center of your area so he will be able to video the movement of the dog from the side, you and the dog must make a circle while moving around the helper, the circle should be about 30 feet in diameter. ( 3 ) the next video of movement you must have the dog go away from the camers in a straight line turn around and come back to the camera in a straight line stopping about 8 feet from the helper. The dog must stand naturally, do not set the dog up. ( 4 ) Last the helper should zoom in on the dogs mouth while you show the bite. Have the helper announce: ( 1 ) Set up your dog ( 2 ) Take your dog around once. ( 3 ) Take your dog down and back ( 4 ) Show me the bite please
