Puppy class cut off age

[ZoomZoom]

I ma totally new to all of this...so don't laugh too hard! As I understand it, there are puppy classes, 6-9 mo and 9-12 mo etc. Since 9 months is listed in both classes, does this mean you have the option to chose either if your dog is in her 9 month of age at the time of the show? Thanks.

No you can not enter in either class. The classes are actually defined as Puppy, 6 & under 9 Months or Puppy, 9 & under 12 Months. So if the puppy is 9 months on the day of the show it must be entered in the 9 & under 12 months. The same thing applies to the 12 & under 18 months class. If the dog turns 18 months on the day of the show it can not be shown in the 12 & under 18 months class. If it turns 12 months on the day of show then it shown in 12 & under 18 months. Should you show in a class that dog is ineligible to be shown in and win, the ribbons will be requested to be returned and any points you were awarded will be revoked.

This happened to me our first time showing Sherman! I entered him in the wrong class and we had to give back his first blue ribbon. There were no points because he only won his class, but it was still a bummer! LESSON LEARNED!
