(b) Schipperke Breeder-Judge;
(c) Schipperke Breeder with 10+ years experience;
(d) Schipperke Handler with 5+ years experience.

The Judging panel will be announced at the start of the competition.

Judges will evaluate each dog and bitch assigning points to attributes based on the AKC Standard. These points will be combined to determine the Judge’s Choice Award.

Skip-A-Thon – YES! There WILL be a Skip-A-Thon - This event is designed to bring together and unite all who adore our wonderful breed. All Schipperkes are created equal, and all who love them can enter their favorite little Black Devil Dog in the Skip-A-Thon. Whether your Schipperke is your devoted house pet, a worthy little Rescue alumnus, a Champion or a great Wanna-Be in Obedience, Rally, or Conformation … the Skip-A-Thon is the place to be on Thursday afternoon to show off the wonderful relationship between you and your Best Friend. Schips and their humans can enter any of three different destined-for-forever-fame classes (Great Costumes, Unbelievable Talent, or Old Timerz Doing What Only Seniors Do) to compete for a Grand Prize that is as fabulous as the Skip-A-Thon! The Skip-A-Thon offers some of the best prizes you will ever see at the SCA National! For more information about entering the Skip-A-Thon, contact Fran Keyes.
