AKC National Owner-Handled Series
(Special Attraction)
The AKC National Owner-Handled Series is a non-titling competition for dogs that
are exhibited by their owners that are not professional handlers. (Dogs may be
spayed or neutered.)
All dogs that are owner-handled and are not owned, co-owned or exhibited by
professional handlers* meet the requirements for this competition. Exhibitors
must declare their dog is Owner-Handled eligible at the time of entry using the
check box on the entry form. Eligible dogs will be identified by an asterisk in the
catalog. Dogs must be handled throughout the breed level competition for the
regular show by an eligible owner. Professional handlers, household members and assistants to current professional handlers may not exhibit the dog
in any breed competition during the entire show.
Check Owner-Handled eligibility box at bottom of entry form.
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.
• If the Best of Breed winner is not eligible for Owner-Handled competition and
the Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed is eligible, the Best of Opposite Sex
to Best of Breed will compete against the eligible exhibits of the other sex to
determine Owner-Handled Best of Breed.
• If neither the Best of Breed nor the Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed 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 winner.
• 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.
*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 or received payment for handling a dog.
