AWC BEST OF BREED JUDGING

Best of Breed judging is done as follows: On Wednesday, the secretary will confer with the judge regarding how many she wants in each group to be judged. Then the entries will be posted, in strict catalog order, dogs on one white board and bitches on another, in groups. It is the EXHIBITOR’S RESPONSIBILITY, to check that board and IF you have multiple dogs entered, ensure that they are in separate groups. If you have multiple entries in one group, it is YOUR responsibility to tell the secretary so that they can be shifted into other groups. If you have an entry you know will be absent, please let the secretary know this. You will have most of Wednesday and all day Thursday and Friday to make sure your entries are all in separate groups.

Saturday morning the judge and stewards will be given lists of each group. When judging starts entries will be called into the ring, one at a time, in strict catalog order, that dog will be checked in, circle the ring and go out (we no longer bring the entire Specials entry into the ring at one time). Once all dogs are checked in, the first group will be called into the ring, and judging will begin. Judge will make her first cuts. After all groups of males are judged, the cuts from those groups will be called in and judge will make her second cut. Depending upon number of specials this may be adjusted, but the judge is working towards her final cut of 12 – 15 males. When this is completed, the same process will be used to judge the bitches, working toward a final cut which will leave 20 +/- specials, plus WD

& WB and any of the non-regular winners who have made the cuts. From this last group the judge will make her choices for: BOB, BOW, BOS, SD, SB and 10 AOMs. Unless BOB is OH eligible, the NOHS BOB will be chosen at this time.

AKC Code of Sportsmanship

PREFACE: The sport of purebred dog competitive events dates prior to 1884, the year of AKC’s birth. Shared values of those involved in the sport include principles of sportsmanship. They are practiced in all sectors of our sport: conformation, performance and com- panion. Many believe that these principles of sportsmanship are the prime reason why our sport has thrived for over one hundred years. With the belief that it is useful to

periodically articulate the fundamentals of our sport, this code is presented.

• Sportsmen respect the history, traditions and integrity of the sport of purebred dogs.

• Sportsmen commit themselves to values of fair play, honesty, courtesy, and vigorous competition, as well as winning and losing with grace.

• Sportsmen refuse to compromise their commitment and obligation to the sport of purebred dogs by injecting personal advantage or consideration into their decisions or behavior.

• The sportsman judge judges only on the merits of the dogs and considers no other factors.

• The sportsman judge or exhibitor accepts constructive criticism.

• The sportsman exhibitor declines to enter or exhibit under a judge where it might reasonably appear that the judge’s placements could be based on something other than the merits of the dogs.

• The sportsman exhibitor refuses to compromise the impartiality of a judge.

• The sportsman respects the AKC bylaws, rules, regulations and policies governing the sport of purebred dogs.

• Sportsmen find that vigorous competition and civility are not inconsistent and are able to appreciate the merit of their competition and the effort of competitors.

• Sportsmen welcome, encourage and support newcomers to the sport.

• Sportsmen will deal fairly with all those who trade with them.

• Sportsmen are willing to share honest and open appraisals of both the strengths and weaknesses of their breeding stock.

• Sportsmen spurn any opportunity to take personal advantage of positions offered or bestowed upon them.

• Sportsmen always consider as paramount the welfare of their dog.

• Sportsmen refuse to embarrass the sport, the American Kennel Club, or themselves while taking part in the sport.
