Opportunities for Majors at Specialties: Starting July 3, 2024

A modification to Chapter 16, Section 1 of the AKC Rules Applying to Dog Shows was approved by the Delegate body at their December meeting. The modification provides all specialty clubs the option for the Reserve Winners Dog and Reserve Winners Bitch to earn a three-point major provided that the number of dogs competing in the regular classes of the Reserve Winner’s sex totals at least twice the number required for a five-point major, in the region in which the event is held. Previously this option was only available at a breed’s National Specialty. Clubs must opt-out on their event application if they do not want this option available at their specialty show. This option is available for events held on or after July 3, 2024.
