Matches serve as a training ground for experienced breeders who break in latest show prospects, novice exhibitors, dog clubs that work for the AKC approval as well as potential judges who wish to be official AKC judges.

Meanwhile, a breed competition, or contest among the same dog breeds, matches as the preliminary round of the game. For this, the best performing dog from every of about 140 breeds will be selected to vie for the next round, the Group contest. This is comparable to semifinal and quarter rounds.

Here, a dog who tries to get the championship title vie by gender within: puppy category, from 6 up to 9 months; puppy category of 9 up to 12 months old; novice, open to dogs who have never succeeded a class and bred-by-exhibitor, open to breeds being exposed by its breeder. Another category is the American bred. This is available for dogs raised in the US and the other class is the open class, made open to every breed, taking in the puppies.

The dog who has already achieved its championship title is directly entered in the competition of the Best of Dog Breed or the Best of Dog Variety.
