Best of Breed Competition Non-Regular Classes Involving Single Dog Entries

The following non-regular classes will be provided for both dogs and bitches Entries in the following classes need not be intact. Winners from these classes are eligible, if undefeated in another class, for Best of Breed competition

Veteran 7-9 Years Class - 7 Years and Under 9 Years on the day of the show Veteran 9-11 Years Class - 9 Years and Under 11 Years on the day of the show Veteran 11 Years & Over Class - 11 Years and Older on the day of the show

Non-Regular Classes Involving Multiple Dog Entries

National Only Stud Dog Class – For Stud Dogs and at least two, and not more than four of their Get. It is not necessary that the Get be under the same ownership as that of the Stud Dog. The Stud Dog may be entered in one of the Regular Classes or, if a Champion of Record, in Best of Breed competition, but must be entered in the Stud Dog class. The Get must be entered in one of the Regular Classes or, if a Champion of Record, in Best of Breed competition. The Stud Dog shall be considered one entry and requires one entry fee. The Stud Dog must be shown in the ring with the Get. The class will be judged based on the merits of the 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 of the breed. Brood Bitch Class - same as for Stud Dog except substitute Brood Bitch for Stud Dog and Produce for Get.

*Chapter 11, Section 8 of the "Rules Applying to Dog Shows" provides that a neutered male may be en- tered 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.

Brace Class (Two dogs, one or more common owner) – Require an entry fee of $22.00 for the Brace as a UNIT if entered in another class. The dogs comprising a Brace must be named at the time the entry is made. If a dog which is to be part of the Brace is not entered in another class, it must be entered for “Brace Class Only” with a fee of $32.00 per unit. In making entries for “Brace Class Only,” full particulars must e given for each dog on individual, regular entry forms. An entry form for a dog entered in another class and entered as part of a Brace must be marked accordingly in the space provided for “Additional Class” 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.”

As the judge's decision in the Stud Dog, Brood Bitch, and Brace classes will be 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 the class will be eligible to compete for Best of Breed by virtue of having won either of these classes.

**Points Available for Reserve** The Italian Greyhound Club of America, Inc. will award at its National Specialty a three point major to Reserve Winners Dog if the Regular Class Dog entry is twice the required number for a five point major in the division where the National Specialty is held.
