PWCCA Rep - - Nancy

There has been considerable discussion about how to handle the judging of Best Puppy at all Specialties for the Pembroke Welsh Corgi. The board decided to recommend to the membership that we suggest to the National Board the following.

“Once an animal has been defeated by another puppy - - that puppy can no longer compete in the competition.”
