General Information
Puppy Sweepstakes:
The puppy sweepstakes are divided into age groups and gender, 6-9 months; 9-12 months, 12-15 months, 15-18 months. The sweepstakes are in addition to the regular class conformation judging, and there is an extra enjoyment just in seeing what babies look like and how they behave. Sweeps start early Sunday morning in the main show ring.
Regular Classes:
After puppy sweeps judging is done on Sunday, or Obedience/Rally on Monday, regular classes of conformation begin (dogs, then bitches) – this usually goes until about 3 or 4, culminating in the Best of Breed.
Obedience/Rally:
The Obedience and Rally trials, are wonderful to see – some hounds so very focused, some really struggling to get the concept together, all very enjoyable for spectators (there is a great need for well-behaved spectating here). The participants are happy to have lots of support.
