There is only one kennel club in the US that holds international shows. Only one that gives international titles. The rest only give American titles. An AKC Champion is an Amerian Champion not an international champion.
If you'd read what I write instead of trying to find something to critize you'd see that I didn't mean that there was only one international club that holds shows. I was talking about the US at the time.

As I understand it, the USA was one of those instrumental in the forming of the IFCS. I doubt if the IFCS is directly involved in conformation shows at any level. Obviously, Americans pay their annual dues to the IFCS. American and Russian dogs were dominant forces at the 2006 world (IFCS) agility champs in the Netherlands.

No, Americans do not pay dues to the IFCS. The USDAA might but that is an orginization, a kennel club (that does put on agility trials) not Americans in general. Americans in general or the US in general does not pay any dues to any international canine orginization.

You'll find similarities with sled dog racing of which the USA plays a big part and again there are two world champs held regularly under the auspicies of the FCI and from memory, the IFCS.

I don't know anything about sled racing, but I sure can find out.
