Q&A: AKC Show Premium List – confusing?
Question by Znip Sero Sero: AKC Show Premium List – confusing?
So, I’m showing in the bred-by class, and I was looking through the premium list and it said this:
“FRIDAY – BRED-BY-EXHIBITOR
BREED•GROUP•BEST IN SHOW
Competition is offered for dogs & bitches entered and exhibited in the bred-by-exhibitor classes to
compete for Best of Breed Bred-By-Exhibitor through Best in Show Bred-By-Exhibitor. Dogs that win
Best of Breed or Best of Winners in the regular conformation classes are automatically Best of Breed Bred-By-Exhibitor.”
When they say “Dogs that win Best of Breed or Best of Winners in the regular conformation classes are automatically Best of Breed Bred-By-Exhibitor” I really get confused there… I know they mean any dog that gets BOW/BOB from the BRED-BY class is auto. best Bred-By. But, at first anyone could probably think “If a dog or b!tch from the American Bred or Open class goes BOW or BOB it is automatically best Bred-By”
So, my question, if anyone could get confused on that, why do they have it worded like that? Why don’t they say “If a dog or b!tch goes BOW or BOB from the bred-by class, it is best Bred-By”?
I haven’t shown under any of these judges yet, and I’m just showing in bred-by Friday and Puppy Saturday for the dogs’ experience.

They worded it very poorly. What a silly mistake.
But, maybe most people are like me, and barely read premiums. I flip it open, skip to judges, decide if I like the judges or not, and that’s about it. XD

Well, good luck. Hope you bring some points home.

It was either a miss print, or they just worded it poorly. Either way it is not a big of deal, not many people fully read the premium lists, I am one of those people.
I have a show this weekend too, plus I am picking up my new puppy.
