Exhibitors must declare their dog is Owner-Handled eligible at the time of the entry using the check box on the entry form. Eligible dogs will be identified by an asterisk in the steward s book & the catalog. Dogs must be handled throughout the breed level competition for the regular show by an eligible owner. Professional handlers, household members and current assistants** to professional handlers may not exhibit the dog in this competition. Owner-Handled Best of Breed will be selected from the dogs that are eligible to compete in the Best of Breed competition including Winners Dog, Winners Bitch and winners of the non-regular classes. If the Best of Breed (BOB) winner is Owner-Handled competition eligible, it will automatically be Owner-Handled BOB. If the BOB winner is not eligible for Owner-Handled competition and the Best of Opposite Sex (BOS) to BOBis eligible, the BOS to BOB will com-pete against the eligible exhibits of the other sex to determine Owner-Handled Best of Breed. If neither BOB or BOS are Owner-Handled competition eligible and Select Dog & Select Bitch are both eligible, the judge is to choose Best Owner-Handled exhibit from the Selects and eligible Winners Dog or Winners Bitch. If one of the Selects is eligible, excuse all Champions and nonregular class winners of the same sex and then choose Best Owner- Handled exhibit from the remaining dogs of the opposite sex including the eligible Winners. If BOB, BOS, Select Dog and Select Bitch are not eligible, the judge may choose any eligible dog remaining in the ring, including Winners Dog or Winners Bitch as Owner-Handled Best of Breed. If the Best of Winners is eligible, the other Winners are ineligible since they were defeated.
