1- Best Puppy (non regular class). - If a pup goes winners or  reserve, it 
has defeated the other pup of the same sex, and only 3 pups will  compete for 
BP. If a pup goes BOW or BOB it automatically becomes  BP.
2- Veteran Classes (non regular class)  - We are still out on that  one

3- WD and WB.  Do they automatically go Select just as a   "tradition"?
 
Answer to this is an overwhelming no, everyone agrees, so far, judge the  
dogs on that day.

4- In the Stewards Club I belonged to there are specific instructions  from  
the judges before judging begins. Are they going to allow late  entries, are  
they going to allow handlers changes, what to do when  there are too many  
animals. Do they stay in catalog order, male first  or vice versa.  All the  
little 
things that make it all run  smoother.  Can we create something like  that?, 
something standard  that every judge can work with and eliminate the  
confusion 
that's  bound to happen in a ring that busy and with classes that  big.
 
Many liked this idea, or something along these lines, to improve the  
handling of the ring.....WITHOUT interfering with the judge's job or AKC  rules.

5-Are these issues in the P&P, and if not, can they be   incorporated?  Can 
we 
add these answers to possible issues to the  judges  contracts?
 
About this:  Judges cant be contracted to do anything other than what  AKC 
licensed them to do.  This is very tricky.

6- More importantly,  when any of these questions arise, who has the final  
word and do all  the stewards and the judges know who that person is?  
 
According to all answers, the judge and the Chief Steward are supposed to  be 
aware of the rules. The show committee needs to also be aware of the  
regulations.  These are the only people supposed to provide an answer, in  
absence of 
an AKC rep.  When in doubt, it is recommended to stop and get  the right 
answer rather than mark the books incorrectly.

Don't know about the rest of you, but I've learned quite a bit.
