release........

New Event News from Chairman Ron Menaker:
This month, we're pleased to launch a new event that will take place at select
dog shows around the country - the AKC Owner-Handler Series.
Owner-handlers are the core of the conformation dog sport, making up the
majority of show entries. We're pleased to put the spotlight on all of our
owner-handlers and acknowledge the time and dedication they put into their
dogs.
The AKC Owner-Handler Series will take place after Best of Breed judging in
each breed ring. This competition will be open to all non-professional
owner-handlers, whether experienced or novice. All dogs' eligibility must be
indicated by checking the Owner-Handler box on the entry form at the time of
entry and will be marked as Owner-Handler eligible with an asterisk (*) in the
steward's book and catalog.
Owner-Handler Best of Breed will be selected from the dogs that are eligible to
compete in the Best of Breed competition including Winners Dog and Winners
Bitch. If the Best of Breed/Variety winner is Owner-Handler eligible, it will
automatically be Owner-Handler Best of Breed/Variety. If BOB is ineligible and
Best of Opposite Sex is eligible, BOS will compete against the eligible Best of
Breed dogs of the other sex. If the BOB and BOS winners are both ineligible,
the judge will choose Owner-Handler Best of Breed from the eligible Selects and
eligible WD or WB. If one of the Selects is eligible, the judge will excuse
dogs of the same sex as the Select and judge the remaining dogs of the opposite
sex including the eligible WD or WB. If the BOB, BOS and Selects are not
eligible, the judge may choose any eligible dog remaining in the ring.
Based on points from Breed, Group and Best in Show wins accrued throughout the
year, we'll rank the dogs and invite our top owner-handled exhibits to a
special year-end event to compete for a Best Owner-Handler Award.
