Airedaler Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Officially I believe it is Best in Show but most people now seem to add "Speciality" If you look at the Dogs Victoria Regulations you will see that there is no mention of Best in Speciality Show. They mention Opposite Sex awards but never mention "Speciality Show" - in part below Opposite Sex Awards Opposite Sex awards may only be awarded at Breed Specialist Shows in accordance with the following procedure: 7.5.22.1 If the runner up to Best in Show is of the opposite sex to the Best in Show, that exhibit is automatically awarded Opposite Sex in Show with all other eliminations proceeding as normal. 7.5.22.2 If the Runner Up to Best in Show is not of the opposite sex to the Best in Show and the Club is a single variety Breed Specialist Club then the opposite Challenge winner to the Best in Show is awarded Opposite Sex in Show with all other eliminations proceeding as normal. 7.5.22.3 If the Runner Up to Best in Show is not of the opposite sex to the Best in Show and the Club is...............etc. Speciality Show is simply a tag exhibitors have added. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebanne Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I think there has to be a way to distinguish between the two. Some people value a Speciality show win more then a All Breeds. But you usually beat many more dogs in an All Breeds show then a Speciality . I've just looked at a rosette one of my dogs won at a Sighthound show and it says Puppy in Show but if I talk/write about it I always say Puppy in Speciality Show and I never just use the initials I would always clarify the win, but that's just me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
