A Class for dogs & bitches to honor those dogs & bitches that have distinguished themselves in the job for which the Belgian Tervuren was bred.

BEST OF BREED COMPETITION

SELECT AWARDS

The judge may award SELECT at his/her discretion to dogs under final consideration in the Specials ring at National Specialties (including the WD, WB, Veteran Dog, Veteran Bitch, Herding Titled Dog and Herding Titled Bitch). The Judge may make this award to any number of dogs or to none. The award should be made to any dogs that he/she feels possess excellence in the Belgian Tervuren breed. The award is to be made after awarding BOB, BOW, and BOS. (Note: The award is limited to one per dog, so if either the WD or WB should also receive BOB, BOS, or Select they would still receive only 1 medallion. BOB and BOS do not receive a Select rosette. They receive the BOB and BOS Rosettes which are the highest awards to each sex at the show.) Due to the fact that National Judges have asked about the number of SELECTS they may give, the ABTC Board of Directors asks that the judge limit the number of SELECTS to no more than 10% of the BOB entry. The Board revised & approved this policy in October 2006.
Mail Early-Entries Close Wednesday Noon (EDT), APRIL 16, 2008

Please Note:As the judge's decision in the Stud Dog, Brood Bitch & Brace classes will be based on the merits of more than one dog or bitch, none of the dogs or bitches making up the entry judged first in the class will be eligible for Best of Breed by virtue of having won these classes.

ATTENDING NATIONAL (AND OTHERS) SPECIALTY SHOWS

The ABTC has an excellent history of maintaing its Specialty headquarters and show site in good condition. Rings, grooming areas and hotel rooms occupied by its members are expected to be left with no appreciable damage, and as clean as possible, after the Specialty is over. The Club sets forth the following standards as a matter of policy:

1. No dog shall be left uncrated in a hotel room in the absence of the room occupants at any time.

2. Dogs that constitute a nuisance to other occupants of the hotel by continual barking or howling may subject their owners to being removed by the hotel.

3. There will be no extensive grooming of dogs in the hotel rooms. Grooming will be permitted only in the areas set aside for that purpose.

4. No dogs shall be washed in hotel bathtubs, and hotel towels shall not be used on dogs for drying them or any other purpose.

5. The external and internal premises of the hotel and show site shall be kept free of debris and feces caused by the presence of dogs attending the Specialty.

6. The Club will appoint a committee to inspect rooms upon member checkout, either seperately or in conjunction with designated members from the hotel staff. Should any room or its contents exhibit signs of unusual wear or damage because of the presence of a dog or dogs, the occupants of that room may be held up to censure by the Club and shall reimburse the hotel for all damages. Offenders may be censured, held in suspension of membership or expelled from membership in the ABTC should the circumstances warrant.

7. While the ABTC cannot assume legal responsibility for the actions of individual persons attending one of its National Specialties, it does assume ethical responsibility for their actions. It will make every effort to assure that any offending person make redress to the hotel or show site in the event that he/she is responsible for damages to the premises.

8. The ABTC urges its members to carefully inspect their rooms prior to checkout.

All members of the ABTC are expected to adhere to these Standards.

The Specialty Committee additionally requires that:

1. Exhibitors not bring litters of puppies to the Show Headquarters.

2. Non-ABTC members attending the 2008 ABTC National Specialty adhere to these standards.

3. All dogs be on a leash at all times.
