Division
Champions: |
The highest

Champion” and will receive the Champion’s rosette. The next
three highest scoring placers in each division will receive an
“Award of Merit” rosette.
The four
division Champions will then have the honor of competing in a
“Crufts” style heelwork run-off. This run-off will take place in
a double sized ring. It will be an extended (i.e. several
minutes) heelwork pattern modeled after British obedience
requirements. Included will be any move allowed per the UK
Regulations at the Championship “C” level. For example, the
pattern may include circles left and right; left about turns;
angled turns, 270 degree turns, and double about turns. These
elements may be called at normal, slow, or fast pace per the UK
Regulations. This run-off will use a “steward” to call the
pattern so that the judge can focus on scoring the teams. The
run-off pattern will be clearly posted for all competitors to
see. |

BCSA
Obedience
Dog of the Year: |
The Challenge Championship rosette and “BCSA Obedience Trial Dog
Of The Year” honors will be awarded to the highest scoring dog
in the run-off who posted a qualifying score to win their
division [Note: combined division champion must have posted a
qualifying score in at least one of the two combined classes].
If no dogs in any division have posted a qualifying score then
the winner of the “Crufts” style run-off will be named
the Challenge Champion. |
