how many wins and points do you need to champion a dog in nkc

1st place win and a total of 100 points.

To champion it takes 100 points w/ a first place win. That first place is worth 40 points. You have to get those 100 points from 2 different clubs, using no more than 50 from each.

To Grand it takes 5 first place wins all coming from 3 different clubs.

arha.com is a great place to find the rules and different formats.

but no more than 50 points at any one club.

Here are the Rules for Rabbit Champion and also Grand Rabbit Champion as well from the ARHA web site;
A. To qualify as a Rabbit Champion a hound must place first in at least 1 licensed hunt and earn a total of 100 points. No more than 50 points may be earned from 1 club. Exception: When a club hosts a State or Big Five Hunt, it becomes a neutral club as far as awarding points are concerned. That is, the points earned toward Rabbit Champion are not charged against the host club. Example: Northwest Beagle Club is hosting the Florida State Hunt and John’s Little Susan scores 30 points, but already has 40 points from the Northwest Beagle Club. John’s Little Susan can use all 70 points she has received because 30 points were from a State Hunt.

B. To qualify as Grand Rabbit Champion a hound must have at least 3 first place wins in a Champion Class in licensed hunts, 1 of which must be a state, or Big Five Hunt, or place first in at least 5 licensed hunts in the Champion Class at 3 or more different clubs.

C. Rabbit Champions and Grand Rabbit Champions cannot compete in the Open Class against non-champion hounds.

D. In order to be awarded points toward Rabbit Champion a hound must compete in licensed hunts where there are at least 10 hounds entered.

E. Rabbit Champions shall be allowed to compete in all licensed hunts where 3 or more Rabbit Champions are entered and present at the hunt. Otherwise, the Rabbit Champion Class cannot be run.

F. Grand Rabbit Champions may be allowed to hunt in all licensed hunts where 3 or more Grand Rabbit Champions are entered and present at the hunt. Otherwise, the Grand Rabbit Champion Class cannot be run.

G. It is the responsibility of each competitor to keep up with the points on every hound that he/she enters in a licensed hunt, and when a hound has acquired the necessary points to advance to the next class, to enter the hound in the Rabbit Champion or Grand Rabbit Champion Class at the very next event the hound is entered in after the hound has acquired the necessary points to advance to the next class, both field and bench.

H. Once a hound has the necessary points/places to become a Champion/Grand Champion it is the responsibility of the owner to submit copies of the placements to the NKC office within 30 days. After 30 days if the owner does not have a Champion/Grand Champion certificate the hound cannot compete in an ARHA event until the certificate(s) are received. This applies to both the field and the bench.
