Special puppy at Crufts is for dogs up to 14 months. My boy will be 14 months on the 20.2.11 so will not be 15 months until the 20.3.11 should he have been able to go in that class the Kennel Club told me he had to go into Special Junior who is right.

But he will be over 14 months old as he will be 14 months and so many days, which is why he has to go into special junior.

Thanks for that.

I always thought if you qualified in puppy you could go into special puppy but I still think is is confusing.

It really must be very confusing for newcomers, still confuses me now, trouble is they'll never stop changing the rules!  My pup is the opposite end of the spectrum as your youngster and qualified at her one and only opportunity, LKA, which means she'll be quite a baby at Crufts compared to her peers at 14 months! Good luck!

You qualify in order to enter Crufts at all, not to enter a particular class.
