To All Conformation Judges:
In accordance with the Rules Applying to Dog Shows the first Grand
Championship points will be awarded beginning on May 12, 2010. This
program comes
at an opportune time as entries year to date have declined by over
30,000.
For many owners there is little incentive to continue to exhibit dogs
that
have completed their championship title. All exhibitors do not have the
financial means or desire to extensively campaign a dog in pursuit of
top
rankings. In addition many exhibitors are restricted in the number of
dogs
they can keep and this will allow them to show their dogs and continue
to
compete in AKC events. This title permits up to four quality dogs to be
recognized without extensive travel as the Grand Champion title can be
earned at
all shows with Best of Breed competition.
Grand Championships was enthusiastically endorsed by the Board of
Directors and then presented to and voted on favorably by the delegate
body. Upon
the delegates approval Grand Champion became a part of the Rules
Applying
to Dog Shows. Since all AKC judges are expected to judge in accordance
with
the Rules Applying to Dog Shows the entire judging community will be an
integral part of this program's success and how well exhibitors
receive this
exciting new title opportunity. Should you have any questions or
concerns
regarding this program do not hesitate to talk with a member of the
Executive Field Staff or contact me.
The documents listed below should provide clarity and understanding of
the Grand Championship program that is being implemented on May 12,
2010.
