| The MFB shows have started having dog show tours and classes on how to understand dog shows at noon each day. They also have new exhibitor classes taught by pro handlers. The show I was at a few weeks ago had a class on how to use a wicket and rules for protesting size of your competition. If you ever show a dog with a height requirement, calling for the wicket is a huge deal and you want to make sure the judge correctly measures your dog. Sorry, I went a little off subject. My point is, AKC and the show superintendents are making an effort to educate new exhibitors and spectators. |

| Also, each time after winner's dog and winner's bitch are selected, then they select the reserve winner. For example if the winner's bitch won out of the open class then the second place bitch from the open class would come back in the ring to compete with the 1st place winners from the other bitch classes. If for any reason later the winner dog or bitch was disqualified then the reserve winner would get the points. It does not happen often but it can happen. |
