© Rare Breed Club Of South Western Ontario

  The Rare Breed Club Of South Western Ontario was formed in 1996 to provide dog enthusiasts with a venue in which they can exhibit and compete in Conformation Shows.  Our shows follow a similar format for judging as you would see at a Canadian Kennel Club Show.  As our name suggests, our shows are designed for breeds that are not eligible to compete in Canadian Kennel Club shows or which are not on the Canadian Kennel Club “list of recognized breeds.”  Entry in our shows is open to all Rare Breed enthusiasts.  There are several shows at which the breeds can compete and earn a variety of different “titles” for their dogs.
