Ok, this will sound like a daft question to all you more experienced showing lot :b ... but it dawned on me yesterday after picking some champ show schedules up from crufts that not all of them inside say ' this is a crufts qualifer show' :unsure:

excuse me for my lack of knowledge :lol: but i thought ALL champ shows are qualifiers if you get placed 1st, 2nd or 3rd? and then it dawned on me that some schedules say ' championship show' and others say ' general championship show'!!!

...soooooooo....... are the 'general champ shows' not qualifiers? :blink:

thank you!!

You can qualify for Crufts at all Ch shows in the appropriate classes unless there are not CCs on offer

I must slightly expand dessie's reply (sorry dessie)

The 'appropriate' classes are breed specific - for whippets they are 1st to third in :-Minor Puppy, Puppy, Junior, Yearling (NOT Special Yearling), Post-Graduate, Limit and Open. PLUS the CC & RCC winners if not from the listed classes. The show must have CC's on offer for whippets. Some Ch shows have breeds scheduled where CC's are not on offer (this doesn't happen with whippets) and the winners of these classes do not qualify for crufts.

Thanks for that Dawn (or richard! :lol: ) Can i ask what is the difference between special yearling and yearling ? as you say special yearling does not count. :wacko:

 

[JAX]

I dont think we have `special `yearling classes now . Yearling is 12-24 months old

Non qualify classes are Maiden :- " , Novice , Undergrad , Graduate , Mid limit . Dont think there are any others that we see now . oh and brace :wacko: and of course `colour `classes and lurecoursing and racing :blink:

 

[dawn]

Some societies (probably not where CC's are on offer) do schedule a Special Yearling class which is 6 months to 24 months.

ok, here goes another question (w00t) ...sorry to be a pain :b but its something ive never understood :teehee: but why does , say, puppy run from 6months and not exceeding 12months and junior runs from 6 months and not exceeding 18months. I would of thought junior would be from 12months not exceeding 18. :unsure:

Why would you enter a 6 or 7 month old for example in junior when you would be showing against older and therefore more developed dogs? :wacko: or would it be a case that you would only move up to junior before the 12months if you dog is doing really well in puppy classes for example? :wacko:

(ive noticed the same principle applies to other classes to..i.e minor pup 6months and not exceeding 9)

In some open shows there is no puppy class - so you would have to enter your 6 month pup (for example) in junior if you wanted to enter. When you enter, you know that there will be dogs up to 18months in the class, so it's your choice if you enter a 'baby'. )

Or like me with showing India and Harvee , Both pups ,but I cant handle 2 in one class ( I know I AM clever but even I cant manage that , :- " ) . So Harvee goes into the Junior class , which on 2 occasions hes won :huggles:

 

[jools]

Struggle no longer Jax, as Harvee has ONLY won 2 junior classes (!?!?!) I think you should give up with him.

I will be down to collect him later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
