The Stud Dog must be shown in the ring with the Get. The class will be judged on the merit of the Get.

Brood Bitch Class – Same as for the Stud Dog except substitute Brood Bitch for Dog and Produce for Get.

Notes: While the merits of the stud dog or brood bitch are not to be considered in the placement of the entry, the stud dog or brood bitch must be examined to determine if it has a condition that would require disqualification or excusal under the Dog Show Rules, AKC policy or the standard for the breed. Since the judge’s decision in multiple entry classes will be based on the merits of more than one dog or bitch, no one of the dogs or bitches making up the entry judged first in the class will be eligible to compete for Best of Breed by virtue of having won this class

Stud Dogs may be neutered and Brood Bitches may be spayed.

Grandsire/Granddam Both of the two succeeding generations must be entered in the show. Grandsire—For a dog and two consecutive generations of his get/produce. Granddam—For a bitch and two consecutive generations of her get/produce.

Brace Class For two dogs or bitches with one or more common owners. No fee is required as a unit. The dogs composing the brace must be named at the time of the entry. If a dog that is to be part of a brace is not entered in another class, it must be entered for Brace class only, which will require a $25.00 fee. In making entries for Brace class only, full particulars must be given for each dog on individual entry forms. The entry form of a dog entered in another class and entered as part of a brace must be marked accordingly in the space provided for Additional Classes as “Brace Class.” If more than one brace is entered by the same owner, it must be so designated “Brace #1,” “Brace #2,” etc.

SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS

Pee Wee Entry Fee for Pee Wee Special Attraction is $15. To enter, use the Junior Showmanship area on the regular entry form using Pee Wee as the class name. No junior number is required. A Ribbon and prize will be given to each Pee Wee unit. Each Pee Wee unit consists of the child, his/her parent/guardian/responsible adult, and the dog. Only one Pee Wee unit is in the ring at a time. This is not a competitive class, but rather a fun, learning experience for the child and the adult. The Pee Wee class is geared toward children 5–9 years of age. Safety is a primary concern. A dog must be a Vizsla at least four months of age to enter the Pee Wee class. Bitches in season will not be allowed to participate. A substitute dog may be used. A responsible adult must be present with the child both inside and outside the ring. The adult is to maintain control of the dog outside of the ring. A release of liability must be filled out, signed and turned in ringside at time of event. Forms will be available at the stewards table. Bred By Exhibitor Non-Champion The best Bred By Exhibitor will be chosen from the winners of the Bred By Exhibitor Dog and Bred By Exhibitor Bitches classes following the judging of Best of Breed. A free litter registration courtesy of the AKC is offered to the winner of this competition.

All dogs that are owner-handled and are not exhibited in the National Owner-Handled Series by professional handlers* meet the requirements for this competition. Exhibitors must declare their dog is Owner-Handled eligible at the time of entry using the check box on the entry form.
