This is taken directly from the rules Section 7. Eligibility of Dog. Each dog entered in a regular Junior Showmanship Class must be of a breed eligible to compete in the conformation classes (including Miscellaneous Classes) at the event. Dogs may be PAL/ILP, Full-, or Limited-Registered to compete in Junior Showmanship Classes, additionally, spayed and neutered specimens are eligible for competition. Breeds excluded from competition at the event are not eligible. The dog must be entered in one of the classes associated with the event or must be entered for Junior Showmanship only. It makes not one bit on since to me that a mixed breed dog with an ILP or PAL can compete but NOT a dog that has a specailty 60miles away. I think they need to look at the rules and fix that sentance. How is it that a dog with an ILP could be eligable for a conformation class? This sentance needs to go "Breeds excluded from competition at the event are not eligible."
