Chow Of The Year

Chow of the year was historically an open show with the prestige of being crowned Chow Of The Year. Typically champions do not enter Open shows but COTY is an exception. COTY has rotated through clubs in the past due to there being one fewer Challenge Certificate (CCs) than club shows. From 2024 the Kennel Club added a set of CCs for clubs. This additional set of CCs meant COTY can be an open show or a championship show, clubs decide for themselves.

Below we have a summary from past COTY shows.
