Puppy Extravaganza<br />
"The Puppy"<br />
The Puppy Extravaganza will culminate in a Best in Show award just before our regular Best in Show award<br />
in the same ring. In this special event, Puppy Class Winners in each breed will be judged immediately<br />
following Best of Breed to determine Best Puppy. If a puppy wins Best of Breed or Best of Winners, it is<br />
automatically Best Puppy for that breed. The Best Puppy then competes in its respective Puppy Group for<br />
First through Fourth placements. The seven Puppy Group winners will compete for Best Puppy in Show.<br />
