Question 1

What kind of dog shows does ShowPoints support?

Accepted Answer

ShowPoints features U.S.-based conformation and performance events—like Fast CAT, rally, obedience, and breed shows. We currently list AKC-sanctioned events with public links and plan to expand to UKC and FCI in the future.

Question 2

How do I find dog shows near me?

Accepted Answer

Use the ShowPoints calendar to search by month, region, or event type. You can filter and assign your dogs to shows that match your schedule.

Question 3

Is there a built-in dog show point calculator

Accepted Answer

Yes. Input how many dogs were shown to estimate potential AKC championship points based on published point schedules and eligibility rules. Official points are determined solely by AKC after results are processed. ShowPoints is not affiliated or endorsed by any registry, superintendent or kennel club.

Question 4

Can I enter a dog show through ShowPoints?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. We link to entry forms and superintendents, but entries happen through official providers. One-click entry tools may come later.

Question 5

Does ShowPoints include UKC or international shows?

Accepted Answer

Not yet—but we’re working on it. We hope to include UKC, CKC, and FCI events in the future.

Question 6

Can I use ShowPoints for performance events?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can browse and track Fast CAT, rally, obedience, and more—even if you don’t show in conformation.

Question 7

Is this made by someone who actually shows dogs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ShowPoints was created by active exhibitors who understand the challenges—and want better tools for all of us.

Question 8

Does ShowPoints display breed points, all-breed point totals, or performance results?

Accepted Answer

Those totals—used in AKC and Canine Chronicle rankings—are based on licensed show results, which we do not publish. ShowPoints offers tools to help you estimate Champion points, with plans to expand to Grand Champion and All-Breed estimates in the future—and eventually support performance event tracking as well.

Question 9

How do I manage or cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

Everyone starts with a free 30-day free trial through the App Store. You won’t be charged during that time, and you can cancel anytime in your Apple or Google Play settings. After 30 days, your subscription will automatically renew through your App Store account unless you cancel before the trial ends. All billing is handled securely by Apple or Google, not by ShowPoints.
