NON-REGULAR CLASSES INVOLVING MULTIPLE DOG ENTRIES
STUD DOG CLASS-For Stud Dogs and two (2) of their Get. Stud Dogs must be entered in the Stud Dog Class and must be shown in the ring with their Get. Owner of Stud Dog need not necessarily be owner of Get. While the merits of the Stud Dog are not to be considered in the placement of the entry, the Stud Dog must be examined to determine if it has a condition that would require its disqualification or excusal under the Dog Show Rules, AKC policy, or the standard for its breed. Get must be entered individually in one of the Regular Classes or Best of Breed Competition.
BROOD BITCH CLASS-Same as Stud Dog, except substitute "Brood Bitch" for "Stud Dog" and "Produce" for "Get".
Chapter 11, Section 8 of the Dog Show Rules provides that a "castrated male may be entered as a Stud Dog in the Stud Dog Class and a spayed bitch may be entered as a Brood Bitch in the Brood Bitch Class."NOTE: As the judge's decision in the Stud Dog and Brood Bitch Classes is based on the merits of more than one dog or bitch, no one of the dogs or bitches making up the entry judged first in this class will be eligible to compete for Best of Breed by virtue of having won this class.
BRACE CLASS - For two dogs of the same breed with identical ownership. Dogs entered in Brace Class MUST also be entered in a Regular Class at this show. If more than one Brace is entered by the same owner, the dogs comprising EACH Brace must be so designated, "Brace No. 1", "Brace No.2", etc. Brace Class fee is $23.00 for the unit.
