new titles achieved and history again made by yurrugar

Two of our dogs, Grand Ch Yurrugar Black Tie Affair and Ch Yurrugar Beyond Paradise, within the last month, have both obtained the necessary requirements to become Australia's first ETT FCI A20 title holders. In addition, "Angus" is Australia's first, and currently only, CIB title holder. It is all rather complicated, but essentially, the CIB title is a FCI International Champion title earned in Australia or Internationally. To become an International Champion, a dog must earn 4 CACIBs (special certificates) in 2 States, under 3 different Judges and they must be from 3 different FCI Member Countries. The A20 title is another, seperate FCI title for an Asia, Africa & Oceania Champion. FCI stands for "The Fédération Cynologique Internationale" (FCI; English: International Canine Federation), and it is the largest international federation of national kennel clubs and purebred registries. The FCI is based in Thuin, Belgium and has 98 members and contract partners (one from each country). This is all quite a massive achievement, and again Yurrugar are making breed history in Australia.
