That's where the mistake lies, in assuming that it is a "special
attraction". IT ISN'T LISTED THAT WAY IN THE PREMIUM LIST AT ALL! (And that's
why
several calls to the AKC got different answerers for different folks, if you
read
what Helen and D.D. forwarded from Bill; the question was asked incorrectly.)

Back to me:
The BP competition was listed, page 4 of 30 in our premium list as a "NON
REGULAR CLASS". Now, had it been listed as a "special attraction" (like
perhaps the Parade of Greats, etc.) different story.
Here's the link, page 4 of 30:

(http://www.raudogshows.com/shows/October/SHEP06.pdf)
Don't take my word for it; open the link and scroll down to page 4. Non
Regular.
When you ask the question correctly, and specify that the competition was a
non regular class, I believe you'll get the same answer that Rita Sandel
received from the AKC and posted to the list several days ago, that the
defeated
puppy was NOT eligible.
