No...... Just make your picks....if you think the dog/bitch from the non-regular class is the best of the entry, then give them BOB. Then pick you BOS. Then your BOW from WD and WB. If there are specials that you think are deserving, then give one male and/or one bitch a Select. You can not ask the Ring Steward anything about the entry other than an age or birthdate...and you don't need to. If the BOB from the non-regular class is not elegible, AKC will make that decision. The judge does not have to do any thing but point and mark the judges book. -Kay Reamensnyder and Betty Doerpinghaus -Home of Bedkar German Shepherds -bedkar@xxxxx -Visit our Website: www.bedkargsd.com > Date: Thu, 27 May 2010 01:31:19 +0000 > From: caretti1@xxxxxxxxxxx > To: VPREZHMF@xxxxxxx > CC: grnram415@xxxxxxx; Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] another Grand Champion question > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: VPREZHMF@xxxxxxx > To: grnram415@xxxxxxx, Showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Sent: Wednesday, May 26, 2010 7:26:56 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central > Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Grand Champion question > > <.The judge is limited only by the knowledge that the GC points must be > awarded only to animals that are FINISHED champions on entry of THAT SHOW, > If > the judge has a question on the status of a certain dog, he can check with > his steward( like asking age of a puppy) Helen Miller Fisher> > **************************************************************************************************** > > > So would the correct procedure for juding a BOB class that has a dog/bitch > from a non-regular class be to......... first choose BOB, BOW, > BOS......then....if the dog from the non-regular class doesn't go BOB or > BOS,and is deserving of grand champion points,go to the steward and ask if > he/she is a Champion......If yes, consider him for the grand champion > points....if not,don't. > > > > This may have been discussed already, and if so, please excuse. > > > > Cyndi Flautt > > www.carettigsd.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
