Who is Elibible for Grand Champion Competition: 3. Champions that win Non-Regular Classes and become eligible for Best of Breed Competition. (Altered or spayed CH veteran class winners at independent specialties are eligible) I think that explains it pretty well. I would think the AKC would ask for the ribbon back if such occurs. I had entered a dog a while back and AKC claimed his paperwork was not official with AKC at the date of the show, and was asked to return the ribbon and his placing was dis-allowed. I would imagine the same procudures will apply. Chris Chris S. (Jolley) Kimerer www.tanbarkgsd.com Ch. Tanbark's 2MuchBling Joelle Aramist Ch.

(for the dogs from the non regular class ie: veterans) .....And does the exhibitor just smile and say thanks!?.....or does he say, thanks, but my dog is not a CH and give the ribbon back?.....And if he smiles, takes the ribbon for a dog that's not a CH, and the AKC doesn't allow the Gr CH pts, does he have to send the ribbon back? Do you think I could make it a little more complicated? LOL Cyndi Flautt www.carettigsd.com ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2010.
