Dog Show Terminology-Part Deux
Novice Class: The Novice Class shall be for dogs six months of age and over which have not won three first prizes in the Novice Class, a first prize in Bred By Exhibitor or American Bred or Open Class nor one or more points towards championships. Only dogs whelped in the United States or Canada shall be eligible.
The two things about this class that confuse the novice exhibitor are: (1) Even if you are alone in your class and you win it, the dog has won a first prize; and (2) If he wins a Puppy Class and goes on to win Winners with one point, he is no longer eligible to compete in this class.
Bred by Exhibitor Class: This class shall be for all dogs (except Champions) six months of age and over, which are owned by that identical person (or persons) who was the breeder of record. Dogs entered in this class may be shown in the ring in this class only by an owner or member of his immediate family. Read this rule carefully if you have any intentions of exhibiting in this class.
Dog Show Terms: American Bred Class, Open Class, Winners Class
American Bred Class: This class shall be for all dogs (except Champions) six months of age and over, whelped in the United States, by reason of a mating which took place in the United States. If you import from Canada a bitch in whelp who whelps her puppies here, the puppies are not eligible to compete in this class, since they were not the result of a mating which took place in the United States.
Open Class: The Open Class shall be for any dog six months of age or over. Some people are under the impression that because their dog is a puppy he may not be entered in this class. This is not so. A puppy may be entered in any class for which he is eligible, and it is not true that a puppy must advance through the other classes before he may compete in the Open Class.
Winners Class: There is no entry fee in this class, and if your dog wins any one of the five regular classes he is automatically eligible to compete in this class.
