The breeds are judged separately and the basis of the judging is the breed standard which is a description of the breed’s appearance and characteristics.
First the puppies of both sexes are judged.
Thereafter first the males and then the females are judged in different classes according to age and previously obtained championships and trials. The two sexes do not meet until the competition for "Best of Breed / Best of Opposite Sex".

The dogs are judged in the order of succession stated in the catalogue.
The individual dog is first judged by its quality. There are three degrees of quality:

- 1st prize (red ribbon) is given to a typical and in all essentials really well built dog whose advantages are so essential and whose faults are so inessential that the dog can be characterized as being an excellent representative of its breed.

- 2nd prize (blue ribbon) is given to a dog of very good type and build whose exteriour faults are so insignificant that the dog can still be characterized as being a good representative of its breed.

- 3rd prize (yellow ribbon) is given to a dog of good type whose exteriour faults are not of such a nature that the dog can be characterized as being a bad representative of its breed.

Furthermore, the dog can be given a KIP or 0-prize.

KIP (cannot be placed) indicates that the judge cannot decide which prize degree the dog deserves.

0-prize is disqualifying and is given to dogs with anatomic, typological or psychical faults.

The dogs from the best quality group (1st prize dogs) take part in a competitive judging where the best dogs are placed as 1st, 2nd 3rd and 4th winner and receive a red, blue, yellow or green ribbon respectively.
Dogs of an exceptionally high quality can be given the designation "certificate quality" (CK) which is shown by giving the dog a lilac ribbon. The dogs that obtain a CK go on to the next competition
During the judging, the national certificate CAC (red/white ribbon) qualifying for the Danish championship and the international certificate CACIB (white ribbon) qualifying for the international championship can be awarded in the "Best male class/Best female class".
The judgment proceeds step by step until the 2 best dogs of the breed are at last assembled in the competition for "Best of breed" (BIR) (red/yellow rosette) and "Best of opposite sex" (BIM) (blue/yellow rosette).

A leaflet showing a diagram of the course of judging as well as the colours of the many ribbons and rosettes that are handed out in the different classes is available from the DKK information stands at the shows. This diagram (in Danish) as a pdf-file (Adobe Acrobat) you can get here.
