FCI-IGP 1 to FCI-IGP 3 levels are offered at the championship.
To enter the 2026 CWDF IGP National Championship, dogs must be registered with the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC)*, and handler and owner – if residing in Canada – must be members of the CWDF member breed club for the breed of their dog** (http://cwdf.ca/member-clubs/).
To enter at a given level, a dog must be eligible to trial at that level, meaning a dog can pass a new title during the event. For example, to enter at the IGP 3 level, the dog must have successfully passed the IGP level 2 title prior to the championship. To enter at IGP 2 level, the dog must have an IGP 1 title, and so on.
Entries close May 28. Entry fee CAD $275, early bird discount until April 30 at $225. Pay by e-transfer to schiposport@gmail.com

* if residing in Canada, with the exception of mixed breed dogs or breeds not recognized by the CKC, such as the White Swiss Shepherd. In such a case, the FCI recognized registration from the country of origin will suffice, and make the dog-handler team eligible for FCI IGP 2026 Team Canada pending other qualification requirements. Mixed breed dogs can enter but are not eligible for Team Canada.
** with the exception of members of the German Shepherd Dog Club of Canada entering with a CKC registered German Shepherd Dog, pending FCI-IGP qualification title achieved.
