Please clarify?
When I am entering an all-breed show (scenario - I have the following entries (all same breed): one each of a puppy bitch, a puppy dog, a 1-1.5 mo. old bitch, a 1-1.5 mo. old dog, an adult bitch, a adult dog, a CH adult bitch and a GCH adult dog. I want to handle as many of these as I can in accordance with the rules and choose pro handlers for the rest. I know that if a pro handler is not available, their name will not appear on the list, so it is easy to choose another. But how many of these classes can I enter as Owner Handler without risking disqualification? Does the game warn me that I can't handle , say a puppy bitch *and* a puppy dog in the same show *before* the show?
Thank you.

As far as I know, in this game, there is no dismissal from the ring for having *too many* entries.

These are the only grounds for dismissal: https://www.showdog.com/help/topic.aspx?id=87

Additionally, unless a judge specifies " Actually prefers to see the owner of the dog handling it" in their bio, you should be using a handler, unless you are entering a no handler specialty show.

Lastly, you can enter as many dogs in a show with as many handlers but you will pay:

I hope I answered your questions. If not, let us know.

Did you know?
The sit for exam is a modified version of the Stand for Exam. It is generally used in novice level classes and requires the handler to order the dog to sit and then to move away from the dog the length of the leash. The judge will then approach the dog and pet the dog's head.
