A Guide To The 2018 CCAA National Specialty Events

3/15/2018

 
In an effort to provide the most recent developments regarding the Cane Corso Association of America’s 2018 National Specialty weekend, below is some great information to help you navigate through everything going on during the cluster!  As previously announced, the Cane Corso Association of America’s 2018 National Specialty weekend will be held in conjunction with the Victory Lane Classic Cluster in Concord, North Carolina, from May 31st to June 3rd at the Cabarrus Center.  The Cabarrus Center is a modern, state-of-the-art event center with a first class banquet facility.  As in prior years, the CCAA is making sponsorship of trophies available to all and our trophy sponsorship website can be found here: https://www.payit2.com/p/ccaa2018!  The CCAA would like to extend its gratitude to Victor Pet Food for generously providing show sponsorship and prizes!
 
In a team effort with the CCAA, the host All Breed Kennel Clubs, the Carolina Working Group Association and the Cane Corso Club of the Carolinas (CCCC), participants will have a unique opportunity to show eight times in four days.
 
The superintendent for all eight shows is MB-F, Inc. and all entries can be made at InfoDog.com.  Each show must be entered individually and each sweepstakes must be entered as a separate class.  All shows are limited to 100 entries.  The Cane Corso Club of the Carolinas (CCCC) Specialty and Sweepstakes on Friday will be listed as a CCAA event by MB-F and the AKC.  The AKC allows a developing specialty club to use a parent club’s license to hold an event, which is the case here, but CCCC wins will not count toward CCAA awards.  Although it must be listed by the name of the licensed club, every aspect of Friday’s CCCC Specialty and Sweepstakes is being provided by the Cane Corso Club of the Carolinas.  Links to the eight separate shows on InfoDog.com are provided within this schedule.
 
Below is a schedule of events, all of which will be held on-site at the Cabarrus Center, updated as of March 12th, 2018:
