shown in the ring with the Get. The class will be judged on the merit 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 AKC Dog Show Rules, AKC Policy, or the standard of the breed.

Grandsire—For a dog and two consecutive generations of his get/produce.
Granddam—For a bitch and two consecutive generations of her get/produce.
Brace Class
For two dogs or bitches with one or more common owners. No fee is required as a unit. The
dogs composing the brace must be named at the time of the entry. If a dog that is to be part of
a brace is not entered in another class, it must be entered for Brace class only, which will require
a $25.00 fee. In making entries for Brace class only, full particulars must be given for each dog
on individual entry forms. The entry form of 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, it must be so designated “Brace
#1,” “Brace #2,” etc.
Notes: While the merits of the stud dog or brood bitch are not to be considered in the placement of the entry, the
stud dog or brood bitch must be examined to determine if it has a condition that would require disqualification or
excusal under the Dog Show Rules, AKC policy or the standard for the breed. Since the judge’s decision in multiple
entry classes will be based on the merits of more than one dog or bitch, no one of the dogs or bitches making up
the entry judged first in the class will be eligible to compete for Best of Breed by virtue of having won this class
