How To Figure Points If Your Champion Dog or Bitch Goes Best of Breed Grand Championship points will be calculated according to the number of dogs competing in the regular classes, as well as dogs competing in Best of Breed competition. A dog awarded BOB will be credited with the number of GC points calculated for BOB or BOS whichever is greater. If the judge elects to award GC points to his BOB winner today, whether the BOB is a dog or a bitch, the BOB will receive 5 GC points.


Example: BOB (7 class dogs + 5 class bitches + 6 champions = 18 dogs for 5 pts)


TIPS: Veteran dogs or any other non-regular class dogs are not counted in determining points. All eli- gible entrants from non-regular classes can earn Grand Championship points. TIPS: When counting dogs in competition, you only count dogs present that are judged. Dogs that are disqualified, dismissed, excused, absentee or have all awards withheld do not count.


How To Figure Points If Your Champion Dog or Bitch Goes Best of Opposite Sex If the Judge elects to award GC points to his BOS winner, all dogs of their sex competing are counted.


Example: BOS – dog (7 class dogs + 3 champion dogs = 10 dogs for 4 pts) BOS – bitch (5 class bitches + 3 champion bitches = 8 bitches for 3 pts)


How To Figure Points for Select Dog (SD) or Bitch (SB) These are new AKC terms created for use in the Grand Championship program. Here all dogs of the same sex defeated in the BOB and regular classes are counted. Once again, it is entirely at the judge’s discretion to choose a Select Dog and/or a Select Bitch. SD/SB count all dogs competing of the same sex then subtract 2.


Example:BOB – is a male


SD is chosen (10 dogs – 2 dogs = 8 dogs for 4 pts) SB is chosen (8 bitches – 2 bitches = 6 bitches for 2 pts)


Starting in 2010, dogs who earn their Grand Champion title will receive an invitation to the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship.
