Background: What is the &#8220;Challenge Certificate&#8221; (CC)?<br \/>\nBefore you understand the &#8220;reserve,&#8221; you need to know the main prize. In Britain, to make a dog a <strong>Champion<\/strong>, you don&#8217;t need dozens of wins, but you do need <strong>3 special<\/strong> ones: the Challenge Certificates (CC). <\/p>\n<p>-A CC is awarded to the <strong>best male<\/strong> and <strong>best female<\/strong> of each breed.<br \/>\n<em>It is the &#8220;golden ticket&#8221; issued by the British Kennel Club<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>2. The Reserve Challenge Certificate (RCC): The Silver Medal<br \/>\nThe <strong>Reserve Challenge Certificate<\/strong> is, quite simply, the award for the <strong>second best dog<\/strong> of the corresponding sex.<\/p>\n<p>After the judge has chosen the CC winner (number 1), he calls to himself all the remaining dogs that won their respective categories, plus the dog that came second behind the CC winner. From these, he chooses the &#8220;reserve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Why does it matter if it&#8217;s not first place?<br \/>\nAlthough it doesn&#8217;t directly count toward the Champion title (in most cases), the RCC is a prestigious award for three reasons:<br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>The prestige<\/strong>: Coming second out of hundreds of dogs at Crufts is an incredible feat.<br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>The genetic value<\/strong>: For breeders, a dog with many RCCs is still considered a very high quality subject.<br \/>\n&#8211; <strong>The &#8220;Promotion&#8221; (Rare)<\/strong>: If for some reason the CC winner is disqualified, the RCC will &#8220;climb&#8221; and become a full CC.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>3. The RCC&#8217;s &#8220;Super Power&#8221; at Crufts<br \/>\nThere is one technical detail that makes the RCC highly coveted by owners: <strong>entry into the &#8220;Stud Book.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In England, if a dog wins an RCC in a major show such as Crufts, it gets a special registration number in the studbook of champions.<br \/>\n<strong>The practical benefit?<\/strong> A dog that has won an RCC at Crufts is <strong>qualified<\/strong> for <strong>life<\/strong> to participate in Crufts each year, without having to win any other qualifying competitions for the rest of its career.<\/p>\n<p>In summary: A quick outline<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 25%;\">Award<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%;\">Location<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%;\">Value<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%;\">Qualification Crufts<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 25%;\">Challenge Certificate (CC)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%;\"><span data-path-to-node=\"19,1,1,0\">1st Best Male\/Female<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%;\">Fundamental (3 needed)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%;\">Qualified for life<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 25%;\">Reserve CC (RCC)<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%;\">2nd Best Male\/Female<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%;\">Prestige, but does not count as CC<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%;\">Qualified for life<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>So if you see us celebrating a &#8220;Reserve&#8221; now you know why: Lady gaga just got an elite recognition and a perennial pass to the world&#8217;s most famous green carpet!<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;top&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1638980218127{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}&#8221; woodmart_css_id=&#8221;61b0da6ead8f6&#8243; responsive_spacing=&#8221;eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2MWIwZGE2ZWFkOGY2Iiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfcm93IiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=&#8221; mobile_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; tablet_bg_img_hidden=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; woodmart_gradient_switch=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_box_shadow=&#8221;no&#8221; wd_z_index=&#8221;no&#8221; woodmart_disable_overflow=&#8221;0&#8243; row_reverse_mobile=&#8221;0&#8243; row_reverse_tablet=&#8221;0&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1634124430663{padding-top: 0px<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1302,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"none","_seopress_titles_title":"%%post_title%% %%sep%% %%sitetitle%%","_seopress_titles_desc":"Multich Zackshine Lady Gaga gets Res CC at Crufts 2026 making us proud of her and the selection work we are doing.","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[73,71],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-expo-results","category-results-of-lady-gaga"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zackshine.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zackshine.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zackshine.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zackshine.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zackshine.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1308"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.zackshine.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1308\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1311,"href":"https:\/\/www.zackshine.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1308\/revisions\/1311"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zackshine.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.zackshine.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zackshine.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.zackshine.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
