Oh I love this thread.
Reason being, my Altered Male took Alt. Winners Male and Best Altered in
Breed at the Bernese Specialty in October 2002, in Abbottsford, B.C. Canada.
For a total of 3 points towards his Alt.Ch. I was very pleased with my boy
and we both had great fun.
We had entered him in t
Class in the regular ring. It is discouraging to people who are trying to
finish a title on a dog when retired Specials turn up in their classes. I
hope to encourage more novice handlers to exibit their pet dogs in the
altered classes without them feeling overwhelmed by experienced show dogs
Hi Sherri,

Can you straighten me out on how it works ...

"for exhibition only" as
well, just in case. The Altered Classes are actually a
show within a show. The points are awarded just like
in regular conformation classes and go towards a
chamionship. If your girl eventually gets 10 points,
which I'm sure she will. You can add another ti

Not to date.
A Sieger show would be an optional event at
would encourage the entries in altered classes at
specialty shows here in Canada. Wouldn't it be a wonderful opportunity to
involve more "pet owners" in the show ring and for everyone to see more of
what is being produced in different breeding programs! Plus, as many
people find sho

You can see lots of altered dogs in the show ring. They're in the agility
ring, the obedience ring, the draft ring, the herding arena. :-)

Hi Sherry,
Here in Canada we have altered classes but I've only seen them offered at
Specialties. Personally I would love to see more altered dogs in the
showring as I believe a breeder can be measured for the quality of their
pet dogs as well:-)
Also I would like to see the transferen
