Greece / Ελλάδα
Complete FCI championship guide — all KEO title tracks and conditions verified from official regulations.
Greece's championship system is administered by the Kennel Club of Greece (KEO), the sole FCI-recognized national kennel club for Greece. The Greek system rewards champions from other countries with a "Fast Track" option, but it requires the CAC to be won at an International (CACIB) show. Greece is also a key member of the Mediterranean alliance and frequently hosts Crufts qualifying shows. Always confirm current conditions directly with koe.gr before applying.
