Participation
To participate in the ASCA SCCH program a dog must be:
1. A purebred Australian Shepherd registered with ASCA.

Program start date June 1, 2021.
Points
This program requires a dog to obtain a total of 50 points with six major wins to become a Supreme Conformation Champion. The major wins must be won under six different judges and at least two other judges must award the remaining points. At least one Champion of Record must be defeated at each show where SCCH points are awarded. SCCH points will be awarded to ASCA Champions of Record who wins BOB, BOS, Select Dog, or Select Bitch at ASCA Affiliate shows and Specialty shows including, but not limited to, the ASCA National Specialty and Pre-Shows.
To calculate SCCH points for a dog awarded Best of Breed, count all eligible dogs and bitches competing in the regular classes and Best of Breed. Use the conformation point schedule for the club and gender of the BOB to determine how many points are earned.
To calculate SCCH points for a dog awarded Best of Opposite Sex, count all eligible dogs of the same gender competing in the regular classes and Best of Breed. Use the conformation point schedule for the club and gender of the BOS to determine how many points are earned.
If SCCH points earned are higher for BOS, BOB points will be adjusted to award the same amount of points to BOB as BOS.
To calculate points earned for Select Dog or Select Bitch, count all eligible dogs of the same sex competing in the regular classes and Best of Breed, minus BOB or BOS. Use the conformation point schedule for the club and gender of the Select to determine how many points are earned.
In the calculation of SCCH points, the ASCA Conformation Point Schedule will be used and only dogs that were present and judged in a regular class will count. Dogs that are disqualified, dismissed, excused, absentee or have all awards withheld do not count.
Points earned towards Intact SCCH title can be transferred over towards the equivalent Altered SCCH title.
Levels of SCCH Achievement
Additionally, the ASCA SCCH program would offer levels of achievement:
At each additional level, the participating dogs must be an ASCA SCCH of Record and have completed the requirements of the previous level.
| Emerald: 100 SCCH points | Ruby: 150 SCCH points | Sapphire: 200 SCCH points | Diamond: 250 SCCH points |
| Diamond l: 350 SCCH points | Diamond ll: 450 SCCH points | Diamond lll: 550 SCCH points | Diamond lV: 650 SCCH points |
Additional levels can be added to the Diamond designation as needed following the established point pattern (additional one hundred SCCH points for each level added).
Points are accumulated as the dog progresses through the levels. For example, an ASCA CH has earned fifty points to complete SCCH. He must then earn an additional fifty points to complete SCCH Emerald. The same dog must then earn an additional fifty points to complete SCCH Ruby, an additional fifty SCCH points to earn SCCH Sapphire, and an additional fifty SCCH points to earn SCCH Diamond. An additional one hundred points is required for each advancement at the Diamond level. At least one Champion of Record must be defeated at each show where SCCH points are awarded.
