Prix d'Honneur
With effect from the Spring Open Show 2024 the following criteria will be applied to the awarding of Prix d'Honneur points:
Points for group wins are only awarded if there are at least two different breeds in the group.
Points for AV classes are only awarded if there are at least two dogs present in each class.
Points for best in show positions are only awarded if the dog has placed ahead of another in the show.
Example
A stand-alone dog gets BOB 1 point and no group points. In the BIS line-up, if the dog comes 1st – 6th place points will be awarded. If it is last, NO points are awarded as it hasn't beaten another dog.
