It is not necessary that the Get be under the same ownership as that of the Stud Dog. The Stud Dog may be entered in one of the Regular Classes or if a Champion of Record, in Best of Breed competition, but must be entered in the Stud Dog class. The Get must be entered in one of the Regular Classes or Non-Regular Classes or, if a Champion of Record, in Best of Breed competition. The Stud Dog must be shown in the ring with the Get. The class will be judged based on the merits of the Get. While the merits of the Stud Dog are not to be considered in the placement of the entry, the Stud Dog must be examined to determine if it has a condition that would require its disqualification or excusal under the dog show rules, AKC policy, or the standard of the breed. Brood Bitch Class - same as for Stud Dog except substitute Brood Bitch for Stud Dog and Produce for Get. *Chapter 11, Section 8 of the "Rules Applying to Dog Shows" provides that a neutered male may be entered as a Stud Dog in the Stud Dog Class and a spayed Bitch may be entered as a Brood Bitch in the Brood Bitch Class. Brace Class – For two dogs of the same breed, performing in unison, having at least one common owner and presented by a maximum of two handlers. Dogs do not need to be entered in any other class. Dogs comprising a brace class must be named at the time of entry and full particulars must be given for each dog on individual forms. If a dog which is to be part of a brace is not entered in another class, it must be entered for “Brace Class only”. An entry form for a dog entered in another class and entered as part of a brace must be marked accordingly in the space provided for additional classes as “Brace Class”. If more than one Brace is entered by the same owner, the dogs comprising each Brace must be so designated, “Brace No. 1,” “Brace No. 2” etc. NOTE: As the judge’s decision in the Stud Dog Class, Brood Bitch Class, and Brace Class is based on the merits of more than one dog/bitch, not one of the dogs/bitches making up the entry judged first in these classes will be eligible to compete for Best of Breed by virtue of having won in these classes.
