Myra I'm brand new to Cavaliers - but have shown in AKC shows quite a bit over the years - The puppy class is where most people go to 'train their puppy' to get used to things -the judges usually allow a bit of leeway for lack of 'polish' in that class - The BBE class is a great place to 'move up to' in that there probably won't be the volume of competition there as you'd get in the Open class -- I've know people to take dogs that were a bit 'goofy acting' or otherwise not up to the tight competition in the Open ring to the BBE or the American Bred classes - where they get to compete for Winners easier -- they get that 2nd chance for the Judge to consider them -- Just a few thoughts --
