On Friday evening, November 3rd, BCSA will celebrate the Owner Handled Invitational dogs as determined by AKC Owner Handled points earned in the 2022 Calendar year. The ceremony will be held in The Great Hall of The Purina Farms Event Center. There will be music, food, a cash bar and Rebecca Kirzner as Host for the evening.
Judging for Owner Handled dogs will take place throughout the day on Friday. Participants will be given the opportunity to sign up for a convenient time. The exact timing of events for the evening as well as this sign-up process will be firmed up closer November 3rd, but the event will begin no earlier than 6pm. The first presentation of the evening will be to The Parade of Honor recipients. Next the three Judges will be introduced. After that each Owner Handled invitee will be presented their ribbon and take their turn around the ring while their song plays. The presentation order will be determined after entries are received. If your dog has earned recognition for both Top 20 and the Owner Handled Invitational, they will receive both their ribbons at the same time. There will not be two separate presentations for these dogs. Finally, the Owner Handled Winner and Owner Handled Runner-Up will be awarded.
People’s Choice awards will be presented at the end of the program. A Top 20 and an Owner Handled People’s Choice will be awarded. Voting for People’s Choice will take place in The BCSA Store via the links below. Voting is now open and will close August 31st. Voting for each dog is unlimited and open to all qualified dogs. If a People’s Choice Winner is not in attendance, the dog will be announced and the Rosette will be shipped.
