I'm learning new things as I go along.  I only have experience showing in AKC & UKC. So I contacted the ARBA (American Rare Breed Association) and asked them if they accepted Cimarron Uruguayo, they replied that they do - they recognize all breeds the FCI recognizes.  I did ask them about judges & their qualifications, they stated that their judges may or may not have seen a Cimarron before but they have judged other similar molosser breeds & they also have the FCI breed standard to refer to.  I also learned that with the ARBA the dog doesn't need other competition in the ring to gain points, your dog earns points based on how they conform to the standard. So in other words, my dog can get a CH title being the only Cimarron in the ring.  So that's pretty cool!  Now I have 2 venues I can compete in!

I was thinking about maybe getting into French Ring, but I have plenty of time to think about that.  I will be very busy with conformation, Rally, Agility & Nose Work anyways.  :-)
