4-6 Month Old Puppy Classes
All of you FSS (non Misc) breeds can compete in the Beginner 4-6mo shows typically held in conjunction with regular AKC shows?? It is another way to get some CM points on those puppies of yours!! Here is an excerpt from a Premium List for a Beg. 4-6mo show:
There will be a selection of Best Beginner Puppy and Best of Opposite Sex in each Breed/Variety for the breeds included in Chapter 3, Section 1. Each Best Beginner Puppy will then compete in ...their respective group for First through Fourth Placements. The Miscellaneous class competition will be the equivalent of Group Competition & the winner will be eligible to compete in Best Four-to-Six Month Puppy in Show. The FSS Competition will be the equivalent of Group Competition & the winner will be eligible to compete in Best Four-to-Six Month Puppy in Show.
So get your puppies out!! |

Thank you,
MASCUSA Board of Directors |
Your Breed Standard Evaluation and Education Committee needs your help.
Please take a moment to go back and look up the judges that you have shown MAS under. We are trying to gather a list of judges that have actually had "hands-on" experience with our breed. We would greatly appreciate the judge's name, date and location of the show. Please email your information to breedstandardcommittee@gmail.com |
Transfer fees will double if transfers are submitted more than 2 months past the transfer date effective for transfers postmarked after 3/5/14.
The Health Tested Emblem will no longer be provided for any registration transaction. It is recommended that breeders register their health data through the CHIC Program or provide copies of health test documents to new owners effective immediately. |
