If you kept up with this topic, you know even AKC didn't have a standard answer. So, if a puppy wins WD or WB, they are automatically BP, and if they win RWD or RWB the other pup of the same sex should be excluded from BP competition. This years results non withstanding ,as AKC doesn't record this class. Is this the final answer? Rita posted a letter (e-mail) she sent to the AKC with the reply she received from the AKC a few days back. The 6-9 puppy was NOT eligible progress to BP competition (no matter that it was a non regular class and/or a different judge). I had called the events department a day or two prior (spoke to a gentleman named John and provided his direct # to the list) and he confirmed the same for me, but he also added that they don't record BP, so it wasn't an award they'd "fix" in their records, since there aren't any BP records. I guess it's up to the show chair and the owners to untangle the mess now.
