Non-Regular Class Descriptions
Wild Card Novice
The Wild Card Novice class is for any dog that is capable of performing the Novice exercises and that is eligible under
the Obedience Regulations to compete in AKC events. No title is required to enter, and handlers may enter more than
one dog. Dogs in this class may be handled by the owner or any other person, and may be entered in another class or
classes. The Novice exercises will be performed and judged as in the regular Novice class, except that verbal praise
during the exercises is to be encouraged and not penalized. (Good, yes, nice, super, great, atta boy, are some
examples of praise that would be allowed.) Handlers may give additional commands, but they will be penalized
accordingly. Each handler may choose to skip one exercise and receive full credit for that exercise. When checking in,
the handler must inform the steward or judge which exercise will be skipped. If an exercise is skipped, it cannot be
performed. If the handler chooses to perform all of the exercises, all will be scored. The exercises will be performed in
the same order as the regular Novice class. The point values for the exercises, scoring, and maximum total points are

AKC CODE OF SPORTSMANSHIP
PREFACE: The sport of purebred dog competitive events dates prior to 1884, the year of AKC’s birth.
Shared values of those involved in the sport include principles of sportsmanship. They are practiced in all
sectors of our sport: conformation, performance and companion. Many believe that these principles of
sportsmanship are the prime reason why our sport has thrived for over one hundred years. With the belief
that it is useful to periodically articulate the fundamentals of our sport, this code is presented.
• Sportsmen respect the history, traditions and integrity of the sport of purebred dogs. • Sportsmen
commit themselves to values of fair play, honesty, courtesy, and vigorous competition, as well as winning
and losing with grace.
• Sportsmen refuse to compromise their commitment and obligation to the sport of purebred dogs by
injecting personal advantage or consideration into their decisions or behavior.
• The sportsman judge judges only on the merits of the dogs and considers no other factors.
• The sportsman judge or exhibitor accepts constructive criticism.
• The sportsman exhibitor declines to enter or exhibit under a judge where it might reasonably appear that
the judge’s placements could be based on something other than the merits of the dogs.
• The sportsman exhibitor refuses to compromise the impartiality of a judge. • The sportsman respects the
AKC bylaws, rules, regulations and policies governing the sport of purebred dogs.
• Sportsmen find that vigorous competition and civility are not inconsistent and are able to appreciate the
merit of their competition and the effort of competitors.
• Sportsmen welcome, encourage and support newcomers to the sport.
• Sportsmen will deal fairly with all those who trade with them.
• Sportsmen are willing to share honest and open appraisals of both the strengths and weaknesses of
their breeding stock.
• Sportsmen spurn any opportunity to take personal advantage of positions offered or bestowed upon
them.
• Sportsmen always consider as paramount the welfare of their dog.
