- Puppies under six calendar months of age
on the first day of the Show are not eligible for exhibition.
- The mating of bitches within the precincts

- Best Puppy In Show
Where a Best Puppy in Show competition is scheduled the Best Puppy in
Show is a puppy which has competed and is unbeaten by any other puppy
exhibited at the same Show. A puppy is a dog of six and not exceeding
twelve calendar months of age on the first day of the Show. Where the
Best in Show is a puppy it will automatically be Best Puppy in Show.
Similarly, if the Reserve Best in Show is a puppy which has only been
beaten by an adult dog it will also automatically be Best Puppy in Show.
Consequently, selection of Best Puppy in Show must follow selection
of Best in Show.
Best Puppy in Show must be selected from puppies which have been judged
and are unbeaten by any other puppy.
Puppies which become eligible for Best Puppy in Show may be withdrawn
from all other competition prior to the competition for Best Puppy in
Show in order to remain unbeaten. A puppy beaten in competition for
Best Puppy in Show may subsequently be exhibited in all competition
for which it was previously eligible. The dog declared Best Puppy in
Show, however, may not compete in any subsequent competition.
Proviso
For the purpose of this Regulation, dogs beaten in competition for Stud
Dog, Brood Bitch, Progeny, Brace or Team or a Special Award confined
to one breed will not be considered to be a beaten dog.
- Best In Show
The dog declared Best In Show is a dog which has competed and is unbeaten
by any other dog exhibited at the same Show.
Best in Show must be selected from the exhibits declared Best of Sex
providing they are unbeaten winning dogs. Reserve Best in Show must
be selected from the Best Opposite Sex and the Reserve Best of Sex to
the exhibit declared Best in Show.
The dogs declared Best in Show and Reserve Best in Show must not compete
in any subsequent competition.
Proviso
For the purpose of this Regulation, dogs beaten in competition for Stud
Dog, Brood Bitch, Progeny, Brace or Team or a Special Award confined
to one breed will not be considered to be a beaten dog.
- Exhibits will not be admitted to Best in
Show competition after a period of ten minutes has elapsed since the
announcement that exhibits are required for judging, unless they have
been unavoidably delayed by previous judging not being completed on
