| B Matches are for puppies only, I think 4 months to 18 months of age. They are no points, but great for practice......You have bitches and dogs according to age in each class, all first place winners in each class compete for BOB and go on to compete for Best Puppy.......They are fun, the down side is they are held after the regular dog show and at times go on to 9 at night. But, they are great fun.......always good for the pups that you are preparing for the big ring. If memory serves me, your pup can't have any points to compete.

| Puppy matches are great fun and can be a great experience for your pup. Your pup can be pointed as long as it doesn't have a major. The judges are usually so patient and gentle. Some matches are held during the day without a show going at all. One local club has them two days in a row and our yorkie club has a yorkie puppy match and a toy puppy match on the same day. You'll have a ball and you get to see all the adorable pups.

The last one I attended was about 4 years ago in Canton at the Tyler Kennel Club Dog Show........It was my Tahlulah's first weekend out and the weekend she first pointed. But, I do remember that those of us that entered were so hungry by the time it was over, we all commented that we must have been nuts to enter. But, we had a ball.

| I wish clubs would go back to the old "fun matches" as they were called...(guess I'm showing my old age..lol). I remember we had them twice a year and always held of weekends. Anyone could enter a dog that didn't have a major. Great fun and great practice since they had breed judging, group judging and BOM.

| Yes, I remember the good old days in Houston when there were lots of B matches. I never forget the time I got a Best Puppy In Show with one of my St. Bernard pups and a Group 1 with one of my adult Saints. They were a lot of fun and a great learning experience. |

| Just found this on the AKC website. No dog that is a champion of record may be entered in a conformation match (except that champions may be entered in any junior showmanship classes). A champion may be present, as an added attraction, provided special permission has been granted by The American Kennel Club. Entry of major pointed and pointed dogs may be restricted at the club’s discretion; however, notice must appear in all advertising.

We have a B/OB Match here in Jan. (on a Friday) I will be attending the Match if I can get there in time. I love the prices of the Matches - only 5.00 for this one (I think most all of them are this price). Titled dogs may be shown in this Match for exhibition only. Professional handlers and majot pointed dogs are welcomed at this Match. Then they have the regular shows Sat. and Sun. Already entered for these. This will be the fist time going and staying on the grounds in our RV. So looking forward to it. | |

We usually leave on Wed. so we can have Thursday for Shopping (Canal Street), since Fri, Sat & Sun are shows. You need to head across the street on Fri for the Progressive Dog Show. We usually stay until Tuesday to attend Westminster on Monday. Attend a Broadway Show if you can on a free night, need to do Rockafeller Center....Ice Skating....there's a resturant there that has a valentine dinner special, dinner & ice skating. The hotel resturant has great food too. If you can take a carriage ride through central park.......

I definately hope to some of the city while there. I am a bit limited on the walking. I have braces on my legs, my feet are paralyzed. So I can't walk very far. I can walk though and I plan on seeing as much as I can!
