Important Bench Show Information

The UKC Winter Classic Bench Show will be run over two days, Friday, January 29 and Saturday, January 30.

Friday’s Bench Show will include the Dual Champions, *2009 Top Ten Run-Off, Registered and Pairs classes. The Overall Dual Champion winner will come back on Saturday to compete for UKC Winter Classic Overall Champion. Saturday’s Bench Show will feature the Champion and Grand Champion classes, along with the crowning of the 2010 UKC Winter Classic Overall Champion.

* November 30, 2009 is the cutoff date for which 2009 Top Ten points may be earned. Official standings will be tabulated from licensed show reports received at UKC by December 19. Those individuals making the Top Ten will be notified by UKC of their eligibility to show in the Top Ten Run-Off on Friday at the Winter Classic. The winner for each breed will be considered Top Ten Best of Breed and will reserve the right to automatically advance to the All-Breed Top Ten competition at the UKC PREMIER in June.
