Normally we ask the Sunday judges to do this (local judges are very familiar with this fun award). This is a combined win of Regular class winners over the weekend, this is a fun class to win if you make that far. We will have a separate NL Puppy “Best of the Best” held after the regular class “Best of the Best”.
