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 New Zealand with the New Zealand Kennel Club (each an "Owner). Points for results and titles are only awarded for dogs that have been bred in New Zealand under a registered New Zealand prefix.
     
  • Points will be awarded to a Prefix when a Prefix's qualifying dog is listed in the catalogue of an All Breeds Championship Show, Group Championship show or Breed Specialty Championship Show (one where challenge points are awarded) during the Show Period, and in that Show the dog is awarded a show result as per the list below.

    Additional points are awarded for attaining various NZKC titles as per the list below.

    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.
     
  • NZKC titles for which points will be awarded are listed below:
    The number of points awarded is in parentheses () after the title.
     
    • Conformation Titles

    To receive points for a Title, the title date must be between 1st November 2016 and 31st December 2017 and we must receive a copy of the certificate (not the pedigree form) for verification purposes. (Final date for acceptance of certificates is 6th January, 2018). If we have already awarded points to a dog for a title in 2016, it will not be eligible for points again in 2017 for the same title.

    You can forward a copy of the certificate to us by one of the following methods.

  • Show results for which points will be awarded are listed below:
     
    All Breeds and Group Specialty Championship Shows
    • Best In Show (All Breeds or Group Specialty) - 20 points
    • Runner Up In Show (All Breeds or Group Specialty) - 15 points
    • Best In Group (All Breeds or Group Specialty) - 10 points

    Single or Multi Breed Specialty Championship Shows
    • Best In Show (Single or Multi Breed Specialty) - 15 points
    • Runner Up in Show (Single or Multi Breed Specialty) - 10 points
 
Where a dog is awarded more than one of BIS or BIG only the highest number of determined points will be awarded. For example, a dog in a Show that is judged BIG then BIS will be awarded 20 points NOT 25 points (the total of the BIS and BIG points).


 
  • In the event that more than one Prefix has the same number of points, the Owner whose Prefix had the most BIS awards will be the winner.
