Fun Classes
If Fun classes are held, they must run according to the published
guidelines. The decision to hold Fun classes is entirely up to the host
club; Fun classes must not interfere with any of the licensed portion
of a
N.K.C Licensed Event. Fun classes must start at the listed time. If
it is
anticipated that the Fun activities cannot be finished before the licensed
classes are scheduled to begin, they should be scheduled to be held
at the
conclusion of the licensed classes for that breed or in a separate ring.
The
host club may wish to use an additional Judge for the Fun classes and
apprentice Judge may also officiate Fun Classes in order to gain experience.
N.K.C championship points are not awarded for the Fun
classes, but the
winners are to be indicated on the official Event Report Forms and will
be
published. Event Report forms are available for Conformation Fun classes
and
are to be sent to N.K.C with the designated fee of $1.00 per entry,
All dogs
entered in any of the Fun classes must be N.K.C registered or may be
registered day of show .
Fun CLASSES AND GUIDELINES.
The following are provided as guidelines for any club wishing to hold
Fun
activities in addition to the licensed classes.
Puppy Classes
- 3 to 6 month Male Puppy. To include male puppies, of the same breed,
three
months of age up to, but not including, six months of age as of the
date of
the show.
- 3 to 6 month Female Puppy. To include female puppies, of the same
breed,
three months of age up to, but not including, six months of age as of
the
date of the show.
N.K.C strongly recommends that no puppies less than three months of
age be
present at a show, where they may be exposed to communicable diseases.
Parade of Titleholders
It is recommended that this special class be held only at large,
single-breed specialties, especially the national shows. Dogs entered
are
"spotlighted" with a write-up for each one, listing their
accomplishments
and contributions to the breed, to be read by a commentator while the
individual dog is in the ring. The host club may want to present a rosette
to each participant.
