Doggie
Fancy Dress (primarily judged on the dog's fancy dress but if the
owner/handler joins in too so much the better)
PLEASE
NOTE; Fancy Dress will be the first class judged in the show
the
order of the following classes may be subject to change although 'Judge's
Pet', 'Osgathorpe TOP DOG' & 'Best in Show' will be the final 3 classes
of the afternoon.
6
'Best' legs
(most attractive or hairiest - could be similarity between dog's & owner's
legs or the shortest, longest......)
"Treat
Resistor " (the most self control in resisting the treat for
the longest time. Judge will start with a biscuit. However it may be necessary
to introduce other treats or resort to 'temptation tactics' to break a stalemate!)
Best
Look-A-Like (this can be dog most like a famous person, their owner,
cartoon character or even another animal, an object - ANYTHING... other
than claiming a Poodle looks like a Poodle etc.!)
Most
Unusual Feature
(could be the most pathetic expression, appealing eyes, expressive face, interesting
ears, sitting in an unusual way - all refer to dog NOT owner!)
Cutest
dog (not necessarily a reflection of beauty but something about the
dog which would prompt a big 'Aahhh')
Junior
handler (under 8) -
Junior handler (8 - 14) - to show proficiency in walking
the dog & giving simple commands
PLEASE
NOTE: If there are insufficient entries on the day 'Junior Handler'
may need to be combined into 1 class up to 14
Best
Pair
(matching pair, unlikely 'Twins', oldster & youngster...)
Prettiest
Bitch
'Champ
Sausage Catcher' (dogs
will be in the ring one at a time & the handler throws the sausage from
a set distance. The 'Champ' will be the dog who catches it without fumbling
& with the most style & panache!)

Veteran (dog not owner!) over 7 & up to 12 years old
Golden
Oldie - as special recognition for dogs more than 12 years old
Best
"In Betweenie!" (over 1 year old but less than 7)
Puppy
Class (under 12 months)
Best
Rescue Dog (dogs that have had a 'false start' in life or hit a rocky
patch in their early days deserve a special recognition)
Osgathorpe
TOP DOG (this class limited to dogs residing in the 'Parish of Osgathorpe')
Judge's
'Pet' (Dog
judge would most like to take home - although she promises she won't!!)
