A. Competition for the Champion title:
Competition is defined as more than one male/female entered and shown in any one of the regular classes (Puppy I, Puppy II, Junior, Senior or Veteran classes).

If a judge withholds a first-place ribbon and awards a dog a second, third place ribbon in a class of one, this dog will count as having competed and shall count as competition.

If a judge withholds all awards from the dog, then it shall not count as competition.

Dogs that are excused or disqualified do not count as competition.

A dog that is judged in a class, but whose entry is subsequently determined to be invalid, shall count as competition.
1. Earning a competition win by going Best Male or Best Female:
If only one male or female dog is entered in the regular classes, that dog may earn championship points, but such wins do not count as wins with competition.

However, if a class winner is selected as Best Male or Best Female, that counts as a win with competition.
2. Earning a competition win by going Best of Breed:
A Best Male or Best Female who has no competition of the same or opposite sex in the regular classes may still earn a win with competition by defeating a Champion or Grand Champion of either sex for Best of Breed.

3. Earning a competition win by winning Best in Show:
At shows where Best in Show (multi-breed) competition is offered, a Best Male or Best Female with no competition in its breed may still earn a win with competition by winning Best in Show at a Multi-Breed Show.
