Grand Championship
There was a motion by Mr. Arnold, seconded by Dr. Davies, and it was VOTED
(unanimously)
to approve a new advanced conformation title to be called Grand
Championship.
The specifics of the Grand Championship, which is intended to provide
additional venues for
exhibitors and to encourage entries, are:
. All Champions of record that are eligible to be entered in Best of
Breedcompetition, are automatically entered in competition for points toward
the"Grand Champion" title when they are entered in the Best of Breed classat
a dog show. There are no additional entry fees or cost to exhibitors
forparticipation in this competition at AKC events.
. Dogs and bitches that have earned their Championship and are moved
up to Best of Breed class would be eligible to compete on the day.
. Any exhibits found to be ineligible for "Grand Champion" points wouldhave
those points disallowed administratively by the AKC. If Best of

Select Bitch.

andjudging will be concurrent with traditional Best of Breed judging.

discretion.
. For eligible Champions, the Best of Breed (BOB), Best of Opposite
Sex(BOS), Select Dog (SD) and Select Bitch (SB) winners can acquire
pointstoward the "Grand Champion" title. A maximum of four dogs may be
awarded "Grand Championship" points.
. The existing schedule of points and divisions will be used to
calculate"Grand Champion" points. "Grand Championship" points will be
awarded based on the number of eligible entries exhibited. All class
exhibits and champions in breed or variety competition present will be
counted tocompute "Grand Champion" points.
. "Grand Championship" entries will not affect the annual computation
schedule of points assigned to each Points Division.
. Best of Breed, Best of Opposite Sex, Select Dog and Select Bitch can
earn "Grand Champion" points at AKC All Breed, Limited Breed, or

Champions of Record or move-up dogs are defeated by a class dog or
bitch receiving the Best of Breed award.

Bitch, neither the Best of Opposite Sex nor the Select award for that
sexwill be eligible for "Grand Champion" awards.
. Best of Breed winner will receive the highest number of "Grand
Champion" points available regardless of sex. Best of Breed "Grand
Champion" points are based on the total number of dogs and bitches
competing in the breed or variety using the point schedule for the
individual dog's sex.
. Best of Opposite Sex winner will receive Grand Championship points
based on the total number of dogs defeated of the same sex. The Select
Dog and Select Bitch will receive points based on the total numbers of

Breed,Best of Opposite Sex, Select Dog, Select Bitch winners.
. Once an eligible dog or bitch has accumulated 25 "Grand Champion"

receive an AKC enhanced certificate indicating they have completed the
necessary requirements for the title.

the "Grand Champion Ranking System" after completion of title (Top 25,50 or
