Since this is a Regional Specialty, there will be the typical Specialty Classes offered. Puppy, Veterans, Working.
However, did you know that Altered/Neutered animals can compete?
They sure can! In the Working Sweepstakes! Apparently it is up to the hosting club (ABMC in this case) to open competition to altered dogs who will NOT go on to the Best of Breed ring.
Therefore, our specialty would like to encourage Working Dogs (defined below) which have been spayed or neutered to compete in the working Dog Sweepstakes classes. Entry into another class is not required.
The correct titles required for Working Sweepstakes are performance titles that meet the requirements for the ABMC Register of Merit (ROM). The Sweepstakes will be divided by S*x. Winners from the bitch and the dog classes will compete for Best in Working Sweepstakes with the Opposite S*x Winner being awarded Best of Opposite S*x to Best in Working Sweepstakes.
Examples of titles include: CD, CDX, UD, HS,HI, HX, NA, NAJ, NAP, NJP, OA, OAJ, OAP, OJP, AX,
AXJ, AXP, AJP, TD, TDU, TDX, VST, IPO1, IPO2, BH, RE, RAE, Ring1, Ring2, or SAR
So- get those Working Dogs tuned up! Bring them to the Specialty and show off your handsome Working Dog!
