ADVANCE® Breeder Competition 2017 Rules

These rules should be read in conjunction with the rules covering all pointscore competitions.

  • Entry into the Breeder Competition is open only to persons who at some time during the period 1/1/2017 to 31/12/2017 are the registered owner of the prefix under a registration in Australia with the Australian National Kennel Council (each an "Owner). Points for results and titles are only awarded for dogs that have been bred in Australia under a registered (and financial) Australian prefix.
  • Points are awarded to the owner of the Prefix and not the owner of the dog. This means that dogs bred and registered under one Prefix can be owned by different owners. A Prefix can also obtain multiple points from different dogs entered at the one event.
  • ANKC titles for which points will be awarded are listed below:
    The number of points awarded is in parentheses () after the title.
     
    • Conformation Titles
      Champion (50), Grand Champion (100), Supreme Champion (130) ****,
