Ileana, In your 'Guidelines for Conformation Dog Show Judges', under the sectioned entitled 'Non-Regular Competitive Classes' the following is the text in its entirety: Non-regular classes involving single dog entries such as Veterans or Field Trial classes, are judged before Best of Breed. The show-giving club has the option of awarding ribbons and prizes for first place only or for all four places. The option selected must be indicated in the premium list. The winner of the class, if otherwise un- defeated, is eligible to compete for Best of Breed. A champion may occasionally be entered both in a single dog entry non-regular class and Best of Breed. In such cases, if the dog is defeated in the non-regular class, it may not compete for Best of Breed. If there is a special event for Puppies, Veterans, Stud Dog, Brood Bitch, Brace or Team Class, it is the responsibility of the show-giving club to advise the judge of the correct judging procedures. My recommendation is that we judges understand this ourselves. I hope this clears up the questions.
