Redmarks, Greenmarks???

Ever wonder why your dogs PCCI papers has its ancestors name in green or red font color? Or when you saw an ad indicating that the dog has 21 redmarks or 5 greenmarks? Then here it is!

Dogs Name in red font color indicates a redmark. Redmark means that the dog has been or is currently a Philippine Champion or a Philippine Grand Champion or a Philippine Hall of Name.

If your dogs ancestors also has a lettering in green color then it is a greenmark which means that that dog had produced a champion.

Redmarks and greenmarks found in your dogs papers (if it's geniune) means that your dog came from a line of champions! :)

To know how many redmarks or greenmarks your dog has, just count it in your dogs papers. My Sunshine (female shih) is 15 redmarks and 3 greenmarks! Not bad ^_^
