San Marino's championship system is administered by the Kennel Club San Marino (KCSM), the sole FCI-recognized national kennel club for San Marino. San Marino is famous among international exhibitors for organizing intensive weekend "packages" (e.g., 2x National + 2x International shows in just 2 days). Combined with their "Fast Track" rules, this makes it possible to earn a San Marino Championship in a single weekend. Always confirm current conditions directly with the organizers before applying.
