My friend and I are at a disagreement as to the class her boy should go in for showing. He has been shown 2X - once with a handler once with mama once at 6 months and again at 9 months. He is young and stacks only when he wants to and not rolling on the ground. He will be 18 months and 4 days at the next show just over the line. He is VERY well put together animal and looks more mature than my 3 year old. How many times is Novice really considered for points. I know it shouldn't matter if the dog is good - but it does some of the time. What do you say Novice or AmBred?
