Just in time for trial season, the GSSCC IGP Rulebook has now been updated to incorporate the FCI regulation changes that became effective January 1, 2025. The Judge's Committee has worked hard to ensure the rules are clear and understandable but if you have any questions or concerns, please let us know.

Good luck to everyone for a successful 2025 season!
