Professional Tier: Puppy (6-12mo), Bred-By Exhibitor, Open (for all dogs of the respective breed over the age of six months) and Best of Breed (for NCA champions of record and Winners Dog/Bitch on the day). Any dog or bitch that has attained its NCA championship may be shown in Best of Breed competition. Dogs or bitches who have attained their championship, according to their owner's records and who have not received official notification from the NCA, may be shown for a period of 120 days in Best of Breed Competition.

(3) TIER (Non-Professional & Professional) - This is determined by the status of the handler. A PROFESSIONAL handler is an individual who has, in the past, or is currently accepting a fee for handling or acting as agent for any dog, including dogs owned, co-owned or bred by them. Being reimbursed partially, or in full, for expenses only encountered in handling a dog for a family member, friend, or associate does not constitute being a professional handler. ALL APPROVED JUDGES IN ANY KENNEL CLUB OR REGISTRY WHO EXHIBIT DOGS MUST EXHIBIT IN THE PROFESSIONAL TIER. A NON-PROFESSIONAL is an individual who has NOT been paid in any manner to actually handle or act as agent for any dog or has NOT been listed as a handler or agent; however, they may be reimbursed for expenses ONLY for handling a dog.

ALL APPROVED JUDGES IN ANY KENNEL CLUB OR REGISTRY WHO EXHIBIT DOGS MUST EXHIBIT IN THE PROFESSIONAL TIER. A NON-PROFESSIONAL is an individual who has NOT been paid in any manner to actually handle or act as agent for any dog or has NOT been listed as a handler or agent; however, they may be reimbursed for expenses ONLY for handling a dog.

WHAT’S DIFFERENT ABOUT THE NCA?
NON-PROFESSIONAL AND PROFESSIONAL TIERS. Realizing for the non-professional exhibitor, showing is a hobby; while for the professional handler, it is a business. Both elements are essential for a complete and meaningful event. The NCA has leveled the playing field making the events more competitive and interesting.
RARE BREEDS. The NCA offers a RARE BREED GROUP. This will, for the first time, provide rare breeds an opportunity to gain championship and other titles through national all-breed events. Competition will be within the respective breeds with Best of Breed winners (Non-Professional and Professional) advancing to the RARE BREED GROUP. Group winners (Non-Professional and Professional) will advance to Best in Show in their respective tier. The NCA’s groundbreaking format will guarantee that there will be a rare breed representative in every Best in Show lineup for both Non-Professional and Professional.
PUREBRED COMPANION DOGS. (This is a dog show class only.)
The NCA believes all dogs are created equal. The NCA has established two categories for the purebred companion dog class:
a) PUREBRED RESCUE DOGS – The NCA believes the individuals who own rescue dogs deserve special recognition and accommodations to meet their
desire to participate in competitive events. Accordingly, the NCA has established a special registry and competition for these purebred rescue dogs. Purebred rescue dogs should be registered as such on Purebred Rescue Dog NCA Form #4 (not included in this announcement) and when competing at NCA events should be entered in the Purebred Companion Dog class.
b) PUREBRED DOGS WHO CANNOT BE SHOWN IN THE REGULAR CLASSES – There are a number of reasons why a properly registered purebred dog cannot be shown in the regular classes for competition. Additionally, an owner may realize that their particular dog is not up to competing in the regular show classes. These purebred dogs should be registered on the enclosed Purebred Single Dog Registration Application NCA Form #1 and when competing at NCA events should be entered in the Purebred Companion Dog class.
Normally, there will be one class for purebred companion dogs to include dogs and bitches. However, when the number of entries within a particular Group warrants, the dogs may compete by Group. A Recognition of Achievement certificate will be awarded to a dog that has attained twenty-five (25) points from this class.
SPAYED OR NEUTERD DOGS. While the NCA values the role of the breeder, we believe the sport of dogs should be opened to more than just breeding stock. Therefore, properly registered purebred dogs, which have been neutered or spayed, are eligible to be shown and compete in the regular classes of their respective breed through Best of Breed, Group and Best in Show provided the breed standard does not specifically disqualify spayed or neutered dogs. (If the breed standard states spayed or neutered as a disqualification, these dogs may be entered in the Purebred Companion Dog class.)
