Dog Show Terminology

Sponsored Entry: Frequently a Specialty Club will wish to sponsor the entry of its breed at an all-breed show and will offer additional prize money and/or trophies. This is usually in addition to the one or two specialty shows it runs in a year.

Best of Variety: In any breed with more than one recognized variety, the winner of that variety is called Best of Variety instead of Best of Breed. The breeds divided by height, such as the Beagle, or color, such as the Cocker Spaniel, or by coat, such as the Dachshund or Collie, are the only ones concerned with this term.

Each variety is treated as a breed when being judged, having all the regular classes and sending its Best of Variety into the group judging. The American Cocker Spaniel has three varieties - Black, Any Solid Color Other Than Black, and Particolored - and all three go into the group. The Dachshund has three varieties - Smooth, Wire-haired and Long-haired - and all three go into the group. It would be incorrect to say that the winner of any variety or division was the winner of the breed, we say he is the winner of Best of Variety.

Registration Certificate: All dogs shown at dog shows should be registered, and the registration certificate is a piece of paper issued to the owner of a dog, by the organization with which the dog has been registered, when the dog has actually been registered. On the certificate is listed all the pertinent information regarding the dog, such as name, number, date whelped, sire, dam, breeder, owner.

Pedigree: A pedigree is that paper usually given to the owner of a dog by the breeder. It gives the names of the sire and dam, the grandparents, great grandparents, and usually the great, great grandparents. A four-generation pedigree is to be expected when purchasing a purebred dog; however, many breeders issue a five or six-generation pedigree.

Owner: The owner of a dog is the one whose name (or names) appears on the registration certificate as owner, not necessarily the one in possession of a dog. It is possible to have more than one owner, but the names of all owners should appear on the registration certificate.
