No more than 5 points shall be granted per individual show. If Winners Dog or Winners Bitch goes Best of Breed over Champions, the number of champions defeated may be added to the total entry in determining points for the class dog or bitch. If a non-Champion Veteran Dog or Veteran Bitch goes BOB at any LCA sanctioned event, they will receive points for each dog defeated per aforementioned schedule. Points Forms must be completed, signed by a licensed judge or show giving official and submitted to the LCA Points Secretary within 90 days of the show date. The following definitions are guidelines for dog show class entrants at LCA events.
Regular classes compete for championship points toward a championship title.
Non-regular classes do not compete for any points. Since the primary purpose of a conformation show is to improve breeding stock, all Leonbergers entered in a regular class in a LCA conformation specialty show must conform to the fundamental qualifying rules for entering a conformation. Each Leonberger must be sexually intact, physically sound, and free of aggression, shyness and other serious character flaws. The Youth Classes shall be divided by sex into age categories. The first place from each class will compete for Best Youth Male or Best Youth Female before the judging of the regular adult classes.
