6 AKC NATIONAL OWNER-HANDLED SERIES presented by... Gordon Setter Club of America, Inc. The purpose of the AKC National Owner Handled Series (NOHS) is to recognize and showcase the quality dogs being exhibited by owner/handlers and to provide a venue for the owner/handlers to compete against their peers. The determination of the awards in the AKC National Owner Handled Series is based solely on the quality of the entry. The owner/handler s handling ability is not of consideration. There is no additional fee to enter this competition. Entries must be marked as eligible to compete in the AKC NOHS prior to the closing of entries for that show. The handler must be an owner of record according to the AKC s records as of the date of the show. Professional handler, household members and current assistants to professional handlers in conformation are not eligible to exhibit in this competition. A current assistant is defined as anyone employed by a professional handler on a full time basis, or assisting a professional handler at the show. Professional handler is defined as any person who belongs or has belonged to a professional handlers organization, distributed rate cards, or otherwise advertised or represented themselves as handling dogs for pay within the last five years. Dogs must be handled by an eligible owner/handler for the AKC NOHS throughout the breed level (all classes, Winners, and Best of Breed) competition. Additionally, dogs must be handled by an eligible owner/handler for all AKC National Owner Handled Series competition. Eligibility restrictions apply to all members of the same household. Dogs declared eligible must be identified by an asterisk or other representative mark in the judge s book, steward s book, and the show catalog. The Owner Handled Best of Breed will be selected from the eligible dogs that competed in the Best of Breed competition for the regular show. This includes Winners Dog, Winners Bitch, and the undefeated winners of the non regular classes. This excludes all dogs defeated during class and winners competition for the regular show. If the Best of Breed winner of the regular show is eligible for the AKC National Owner Handled Series competition, it will also be awarded Owner Handled Best of Breed. If the regular show Best of Breed winner is not eligible for AKC National Owner Handled Series competition and the regular show Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed is eligible, the regular show Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed will compete against the eligible exhibits of the other sex to determine Owner Handled Best of Breed. If neither the Best of Breed nor the Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed from the regular show is eligible for the AKC National Owner Handled Series competition and both the Select Dog and Select Bitch are eligible, the judge is to choose Owner Handled Best of Breed from the Selects and any eligible Winners Dog or Winners Bitch. If one of the Selects from the regular show is eligible for AKC National Owner Handled Series competition, excuse all eligible champions and non regular class winners of the same sex and then choose Owner Handled Best of Breed from the remaining eligible dogs of the opposite sex including the eligible Winners. If the regular show Best of Breed, Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed, Select Dog & Select Bitch are not eligible, the judge may choose any eligible dog that competed in Best of Breed including Winners Dog or Winners Bitch as the Owner Handled Best of Breed. If no dog remaining in the ring is eligible for the AKC National Owner Handled Series competition, Owner Handled Best of Breed will not be awarded. 6 Gordon Setter Club of America 2018

10 AKC Code of Sportsmanship PREFACE: The sport of purebred dog competitive events dates prior to 1884, the year of AKC s birth. Shared values of those involved in the sport include principles of sportsman ship. They are practiced in all sectors of our sport: conformation, performance and com panion. Many believe that these principles of sportsmanship are the prime reason why our sport has thrived for over one hundred years. With the belief that it is useful to periodically articulate the fundamentals of our sport, this code is presented. Sportsmen respect the history, traditions and integrity of the sport of purebred dogs. Sportsmen commit themselves to values of fair play, honesty, courtesy, and vigorous competition, as well as winning and losing with grace. Sportsmen refuse to compromise their commitment and obligation to the sport of purebred dogs by injecting personal advantage or consideration into their decisions or behavior. The sportsman judge judges only on the merits of the dogs and considers no other factors. The sportsman judge or exhibitor accepts constructive criticism. The sportsman exhibitor declines to enter or exhibit under a judge where it might reasonably appear that the judge s placements could be based on something other than the merits of the dogs. The sportsman exhibitor refuses to compromise the impartiality of a judge. The sportsman respects the AKC bylaws, rules, regulations and policies governing the sport of purebred dogs. Sportsmen find that vigorous competition and civility are not inconsistent and are able to appreciate the merit of their competition and the effort of competitors. Sportsmen welcome, encourage and support newcomers to the sport. Sportsmen will deal fairly with all those who trade with them. Sportsmen are willing to share honest and open appraisals of both the strengths and weaknesses of their breeding stock. Sportsmen spurn any opportunity to take personal advantage of positions offered or bestowed upon them. Sportsmen always consider as paramount the welfare of their dog. Sportsmen refuse to embarrass the sport, the American Kennel Club, or themselves while taking part in the sport.
