Thanks to great member input, we realized that a correction had to be made to the new Conformation Show Rules with the effective date of January 1, 2015. The revised rulebooks will be issued shortly.
The error is in Section 15.1.12 (a).
The new rule book currently reads:
In order for a dog to be recognized as a Champion and its owner provided with a Championship Certificate, the dog must:
(a) Earn at least 15 championship points under 3 different judges with at least 5 points being awarded after 12 months of age at either the breed or group level; and
It should read:
In order for a dog to be recognized as a Champion and its owner provided with a Championship Certificate, the dog must:
(a) Earn at least 10 championship points under at least 3 different judges; and
The rest of Section 15.1.12 is correct and remains the same. (i.e. b and c)
We apologize for any confusion and inconvenience.
