About the project

Best Russian Dog is an independent ranking of the country, based on the results of CACIB and CAC dog shows with a special status in Russia and 4 foreign FCI championships: Europe, Asia and Africa, America sections and the World dog show.

The purpose of the ranking is to give an objective assessment of the work of breeders and handlers based on reports and statistics. The result of this assessment is the formation of opinion leaders – standards among professionals whose skills are confirmed by annually updated data.

The ranking has existed since 2017.

On February 7, 2018, we held the first award ceremony for the best dogs, cynologists and winners of social nominations. It has become a traditional annual event, uniting representatives of dog shows and service dog breeding, veterinary, and social projects.

Over the entire period of the project’s existence, we have organized eight award ceremonies for the best dogs, cynologists and social projects in the country, two conferences based at the Agency for Strategic Initiatives dedicated to issues of cynology, veterinary and volunteering, three online dog shows and two dog shows among the top participants of the breed raтлing together with the Russian Cynological Federation.

On the site you will find information about breeders, owners, handlers and experts. We publish announcements, reports, photos, videos and results of dog shows.
