COVID-19 Operating Guidelines
The 2021 American Boxer Club (ABC) National Week will work with state and local governments and

order to protect the health and safety of all participants.
LIABILITY NOTICE:
By attending any of the American Boxer Club (ABC) events or activities (ABC events) during ABC’s
National Specialty Week, September 17-24, 2021, at the Wyndham Hotel Indianapolis West or any
other venue in which ABC activities are being held, in any capacity, I understand and agree that I
voluntarily assume full responsibility for any risks of loss or personal injury, including serious illness,
injury or death, that may be sustained by me or by others who come into contact with me, as a result of
my presence at ABC events, whether caused by the negligence of ABC or otherwise.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release, waive, forever discharge and covenant not to sue the
ABC or any of the event-giving clubs and each of the foregoing’s respective administrators, members,
officers, directors, employees, volunteers, sponsors, vendors, contractors, medical services providers,
judges, superintendents or event secretary, and agents, (the “Releasees”) from any and all liability,
claims, demands, actions and causes of action whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage,
illness, or injury, including death, that may be sustained by me or by others who come into contact with
me, whether caused by the negligence of the Releasees, other entities or individuals, or otherwise as a
result of, or related to, my decision to attend ABC events.
The following COVID-19 Operating Guidelines are subject to change as conditions and
requirements are modified, altered, amended or eliminated by local, state and other authorized
officials or authorities.
As a condition of my being allowed to attend ABC events, I will fully comply with: (i) any health and
safety protocols and mitigation measures implemented by ABC; and (ii) all local, state and federal
requirements in effect during ABC events, related to COVID-19. If I test positive for COVID-19 or am
exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID- 19, I agree to notify ABC promptly and prior
to attending any ABC event.

UNDERSTANDING CARRIER STATE
& HOW TO BREED BETTER DOGS
by Dr. Carmen Battaglia
Carmen was given his first dog by his grandfather when he was five years old.
That was the beginning of a lifelong fascination with all aspects of dog behavior,
breeding, training and showing. He has personally bred and finished several
Champions, Select Dogs, Futurity and Maturity winners. Today, he is considered
an expert as well as a highly respected AKC judge of more than 40 breeds.
By education, (holding the Masters and Doctorate from Florida State University),
he is a researcher, lecturer and author. His articles have appeared in the “AKC
Gazette”, “Dog World”, “Dog News”, “Canadian Shepherd Journal”, “South
African Dog Magazine” as well as dog publications in Australia and Ireland.
Being very active in the dog world, Dr. Battaglia is a Director of the American
Kennel Club and has served as Chairman of such important committees as:
National Genetics Committee (German Shepherd Dog Club of America), the American Kennel
Club Committee for the Future, the Operations and Planning Committee, as well as the Health
and Education Delegates Committee. The AKC called upon his expertise in genetics to create and
develop their DNA program. He is also a much-sought-after speaker on this topic for television and
radio talk shows.
Author of several different books on dog breeding, Dr. Battaglia has gained worldwide recognition,
most notably for the program he developed - “Understanding Carriers & Breeding Better Dogs”.
Popular demand has prompted the creation of a seminar for dog clubs which mirrors his book and
a video of this method which has been presented across the country and considered an imperative
foundation to any successful breeding program.

The AKC National Owner-Handled Series is a non-titling competition for dogs that are exhibited by their owners that are not professional handlers.
Exhibitors must declare their dog is Owner-Handled eligible at the time of entry on the entry form. Dogs entered in the Amateur-Owner-

book, steward’s book & the catalog. Dogs must be handled throughout the breed level competition for the regular show by an eligible
owner. Professional handlers*, household members and current assistants** to professional handlers may not exhibit the dog
in any NOHS competition during the entire show.
Owner-Handled Best of Breed will be selected from the dogs that are eligible to compete in the Best of Breed competition including Winners
Dog, Winners Bitch and winners of the non-regular classes.
• If the Best of Breed/Variety winner is Owner-Handled competition eligible, it will automatically be Owner-Handled Best of Breed/Variety.
• If the Best of Breed/Variety winner is not eligible for Owner-Handled competition and the Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed/Variety
is eligible, the Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed/Variety will compete against the eligible exhibits of the other sex to determine
Owner-Handled Best of Breed/Variety.
• If neither the Best of Breed nor the Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed/Variety are Owner-Handled competition eligible and Select
Dog & Select Bitch are both eligible, the judge is to choose Best Owner-Handled exhibit from the Selects and eligible Winners Dog
or Winners Bitch.
• If one of the Selects is eligible, excuse all Champions and non-regular class winners of the same sex and then choose Best Owner-
Handled exhibit from the remaining dogs of the opposite sex including the eligible Winners.
• If Best of Breed, Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed, Select Dog & Select Bitch are not eligible, the judge may choose any eligible
dog remaining in the ring including Winners Dog or Winners Bitch as Owner-Handled Best of Breed/Variety.
• If the Best of Winners is eligible, the other Winner is ineligible since it was defeated.
