21 STAKES CLASSES The Kennel Club has announced a one year suspension of the regulation which stipulates that dogs must be entered and exhibited in breed classes before being exhibited in an Any Variety/Stakes Class; and that only unbeaten dogs are eligible to compete for the Group or BIS/BPIS competition. Wins or losses in the Stakes classes therefore now have no effect on the status of breed class wins. It is also now possible to enter in Stakes classes only. Please note First Entry fees.
