Breeders Showcase Competition Rules & Entry Information: The Breeders Showcase competition is an event that honors breeders and the consistency and depth of quality across their breeding program. This class is a competition judged by a panel of three to five judges via score sheets and is placed 1st-4th.
1. Entries for this competition will be executed in The BCSA Store and be made under an “Exhibiting Breeder” name and their kennel prefix name.
2. Each entry will consist of a team of three (3) border collies (no more, no less).
a. Dogs may be any combination of genders to make up the team.
b. All dogs must be at least 6 months of age on the day of the Breeder’s Showcase event.
c. Dogs do not have to be related on the team.
d. Dogs do not need to be intact to participate.
e. All dogs on the team must be entered in at least one conformation class or special attraction class at the National or Parent Club conformation specialty shows.
3. The first border collie in the team lineup must be shown by the person named as “Exhibiting Breeder” on the entry form. The Exhibiting Breeder must be listed as a breeder of record of all dogs shown as part of the team.
4. The Exhibiting Breeder does not need to be an owner of record of any of the dogs on the team, only as a listed breeder of record.
5. The rest of the team may be shown by any handler.
6. If a person is noted as a breeder of record on another dog on another team but is not listed as the “Exhibiting Breeder” on the entry form, they are eligible to enter their own team.

8. The team entry does not need to submit the names of dogs participating on the team in advance. Breeders will have until the day of the event to decide who to use as part of their team.
