AKC National Owner-Handled Series Saturday Both Shows The AKC National Owner-Handled Series is a non-titling competition for dogs that are exhibited by their owners that are not professional handlers*. All dogs that are owner-handled and are not solely owned or exhibited by professional handlers meet the requirements for this competition. Exhibitors must declare their dog is Owner-Handled eligi- ble at the time of entry using the check box on the entry form. Eligible dogs will be identified by an asterisk in the steward’s book and the catalog. Dogs must be handled throughout the breed level competi- tion for the regular show by an eligible owner. Professional handlers, household members and current assistants** to professional handlers may not exhibit the dog in this competition.

Owner-Handled Best of Breed will be selected from the dogs that are eligible to compete in the Best of Breed competition including Winners Dog, Winners Bitch and winners of the non-regular classes. If the Best of Breed winner is Owner-Handled competition eligible, it will automatically be the Owner-Handled Best of Breed. If the Best of Breed winner is not eligible for Owner-Handled competition and the Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed eligible, the Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed will compete against the eligible exhibits of the other sex to determine Owner- Handled Best of Breed. If neither the Best of Breed nor the Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed are Owner-Handled competition eligible and Select Dog and Select Bitch are both eligible, the judge is to choose Best Owner- Handled exhibit from the Selects and eligible Winners Dog or Winners Bitch. If one of the Selects is eligible, excuse all Champions and non- regular class winners of the same sex and then choose Best Owner- Handled exhibit from the remaining dogs of the oppo- site sex including the eligible Winners. If the regular show Best of Breed, Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed, Select Dog & Select Bitch are not eligible, the judge may choose any eligible dog who competed in Best of Breed including Winners Dog or Winners Bitch as the Best of Breed for the AKC National Owner-Handled Series. *Professional handlers are defined as any person who belongs or has belonged to a professional handlers’ organization, distrib- uted rate cards, or otherwise advertise or presented them- selves as handling dogs for pay within the last five years. ** A current assistant is defined as anyone employed by a profes- sional handler on a full-time basis, or, assisting a professional handler at the show or any show during the cluster/weekend.
