Ok! Here you go:
Friday; You have an entry of 28 Yorkies
Inclusive in this entry is: first # - 12 dogs; second # 14 bitches; third # is 2 dog specials (Champions of record, competing for top yorkie in the country position); fourth # is 0 Bitch Specials.....
So if you look at Saturday and Sunday the entry numbers increased.
If you look at the bottom of Friday, Saturday and Sunday you'll see Sweepstakes....those are the number of puppies entered in the Sweeps. This is a non-pointing competition, but puppies vying for the Best Puppy. You have 6-9 months dogs/bitches. 9-12 month dogs/bitches and some Specialty shows that have 12-18 months. The 6-9 compete for best Junior puppy and 9-12 compete for best senior puppy. Then best junior and senior compete for Grand Sweeps....
