Conformation Point Score COmp
A Conformation Show is chosen as the dedicated Point Score for each month of the calendar year. Each ASTCV members dog earns points for placing 1st, 2nd & 3rd at each Show. These points are tallied at the end of the year to determine an overall, opposite and junior winner. The Best of Breed at each Point Score Show is also awarded a medal and will have their photo posted on the clubs facebook page.
Weight Pull
Weight Pull is regularly held during cooler months at KCC Park in Skye. The minimum age requirement is 18 months of age for the dog. Bitches in season at the time of competition are not eligible to compete. The results of the competition are often based on the overall weight that the dog pulled within the class, as well as weight to weight ratio, that is, how much the dog pulled in relation to its body weight. For more information please see the Weight Pull page and to see when the Weight Pull is being conducted, please see the Events Calendar.
