I'm planning on visiting Crufts next year and I would like if someone could tell me a bit about the judging system. I've searched google.com and way down the list of showrules (for hamsters
, birds, shetland ponies etc.
) i found a dogpage which told me about the classes and when you're supposed to enter.
minor puppy, puppy, junior, special yearling, maiden, novice, undergraduate, graduate, post graduate, phew...it's taking my breath away...
, mid limit, limit, open, veteran...
Are these the classes I can expect to see on Crufts, or have I forgotten someone?
I think I know a bit about the CC rules, BOB and BOS , but beside that, what can a dog be awarded? 1st prize? 2nd prize? Is it only dogs with 1st prizes who get placed in the classes?
From which class can the judge pick the CC winner, and can nr. 2 in the class from where the CC winner came, win the RCC?
BTW who will be the judge on Crufts 2004?
I probably have a lot more questions, but i've forgot right now
