Going back and reading the rules, if the Veteran Class winner is a champion of record it CAN be awarded GrCh points. Oh well, back to asking the steward if the Best Veteran is a champion . . . Who is eligible to receive GrCh points: <<-Champions that win Non-Regular Classes and become eligible for Best of Breed competition. (Altered or spayed CH veteran class winners at independent specialties are eligible.) -WinnersDog and Winners Bitch are not eligible for Grand Champion competition.>> Valerie Harrington v_harrington@xxxxxxxx Home of BIS Ch.

Guess we all need to go back and read the AKC's instructions; but I believe it is limited to champions of record entered in (or moved up to) Best of Breed. Veterans is a non-regular class and points cannot be awarded from a non-regular class. Valerie Harrington Home of "Jack" - BIS Ch.
