New At Westminster In 2013
Grand Championship Points (GCh): With the addition of class entries, wins at Westminster awarded by the breed judge (Best of Breed, Best of Opposite Sex, Select Dog and Select Bitch) will win points towards the AKC’s Grand Championship title. For details, see www.akc.org/grandchampionship. This award will take the place of Awards of Merit previously offered by the club.
Addition of the Reserve Best In Show Award: The Reserve Best In Show winner will be chosen by the Best In Show judge from the remaining group winners in the ring after the awarding of Best In Show. This is a new AKC rule as of July 2012. Westminster actually did award Reserve Best In Show from 1911-1925.
Two new breeds eligible in 2013: The Treeing Walker Coonhound (Hound Group) and the Russell Terrier (Terrier Group) are the breeds newly recognized by the AKC and eligible for Westminster for the first time in 2013. There are 187 breeds and varieties now eligible.
