The NCA and NCNE will be introducing a exciting new competition at the 2008 National in Rhode Island. The Breeders’ Class is a new AKC “Special Attraction” offered only at independent specialties to showcase successful breeders. This class is unique in that the entry must be made by the Breeder or Co-Breeder. The basis for the award in the awards in this class is the consistent superior quality of the Breeder's entry - a unit of 4 dogs. NCNE is honored to present the NCA Inaugural Breeders' Class on Wednesday following Sweepstakes judging. The judge for this event is Sylvia Hammarstrom. Ms. Hammarstrom is an AKC Working Group judge who has bred more than 1000 Champions under the Skansen kennel prefix. In order to make this new Breeder’s showcase as memorable as possible, we are soliciting donations to cover the expense of special trophies, rosettes, exhibitor mementos, ring favors, etc. Everyone who donates to this fund will be listed in the Catalog. Each $50 donation will also be a chance to win a 24” x 14” wood sign with an original Newfoundland painting by Anne Parsons.

The Breeders Class offers a unique opportunity for you to showcase your breeding program. The rules of entry are simple: You, the breeder or co-breeder of record, enter 4 dogs as a Unit. You need not own any of the dogs, nor must you handle any of the dogs. Each dogs must have its own handler in the ring, and you must agree to be present at the completion to receive any award received (1st through 4th place will be awarded). Members of the NCA Breeders Education Committee will be providing the 1st-place trophy.

Below is the Donation Form . Please help us put on an outstanding event by contributing to the expense fund. The more money we collect before the end of the year, the better the trophies, ring favors, exhibitor mementos and maybe even ring-side hors d’œuvre we can provide!

I have included a .copy of the Donation form below, due to size restrictions on the mail server.

If you have any questions about the competition or the entry form, just ask (wwnewf@wildmoo.net)! And please send in your donation as soon as possible.

Thanks for your support!

NCNE Breeders Class Committee: Marget Johnson, Anne Parsons, Sue Mendelsohn
