           WELCOME TO OUR DOG SHOWS!
             PLEASE, DON'T FORGET TO:
          ASK BEFORE TOUCHING OR FEEDING A DOG!
Often people have spent hours grooming their dog. Other dogs are nervous at shows or
may not be accustomed to crowds or children. Some dogs grab for treats or they might have
finicky stomachs.

        NEVER LET YOUR CHILD HUG A STRANGE DOG!
Just like most people object to being grabbed and hugged by strangers, so do many dogs!

                           WATCH WHERE YOU STEP!
We want you to make sure that you don't step on any feet, noses or tails of our friends. Also,
not all dog handlers or owners are considerate enough to clean up after their dogs.

                  KEEP ALL FAMILY MEMBERS ON THE
                     OUTSIDE OF RING BARRIERS!
Each dog and handler has only moments in the ring for the judge to evaluate him
and any distractions (food or objects thrown into the ring, body parts hanging over or
under the ring barriers, and/or loud disturbances) can throw their performance off.

     ALWAYS ASK FIRST IF IT IS A GOOD TIME TO TALK!
You might be catching someone as they are nervously waiting to go in the ring, or
hurriedly grooming for an upcoming ring time, or may be just closely watching dogs
that they are interested in. If we are engrossed in something, we will be happy to let
you know when and where is a better time to talk.

8 - New England Spring Cluster Dog Shows - April 24 & 25, 2021
AKC National Owner-Handled Series
          (Remember to check the box near the bottom of the entry form)
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-Handler class will automatically be marked as eligible to compete in the NOHS. Eligible
dogs will be identified by an asterisk in the judge's 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 and be eligible to compete in both the regular as well as the Owner-Handled
     Group.
  • 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.
  • No class dogs other than the Winners Dog & Winners Bitch are eligible to return to the ring.
 The breed will not be represented in the Owner-Handled Group if there is no eligible dog competing in the Best
of Breed or in Best of Winners competition.
*Professional handlers are defined as any person who belongs or has belonged to a professional handlers'
organization, distributed rate cards, or otherwise advertised or represented themselves as handling dogs for
pay within the last five years.
**A current assistant is defined as anyone employed by a professional handler on a full-time basis, or assisting
a professional handler at the show or any time during the cluster/weekend. Current assistants that are eligible
to compete in Junior Showmanship (meet age & amateur status requirements) may participate in NOHS.
