Yes, Annette. the age limits for this series is 6 months old day of the show up to under 18 months old day of the show. classes are divided by sex into 6 and under 9 months, 9 and under 12 months, 12 months and under 15 months, 15 months and under 18 months. each of the 1st-thru 4th place winner is awarded a "share" of the entry money for the class, and the Best in Sweeps and Best of Opposite in Sweeps are each awarded 5% of a portion of total entry money of the Sweeps entries. It's a really nice showcase of the youngsters, which also must be entered in the "regular" classes of the "points show". I've always liked the Sweepstakes competition as it's fair to all owners of puppies regarding the eligibility is the age, not the breeder, such as a Futurity competition would be. At this particular show, the Sweepstakes entries will be judged prior to the dog classes of the points show. The next day, bitches and Intersex (Best of Breed, and non-regular classes such as Stud Dog, Brood Bitch, and Brace) will be judged.
