In 'definition of classes',  what does    'whether restricted or not'     mean?

Some classes are for dogs or bitches only, or particular colours, or age ...

Well thats even more confusing. It says 'at championship shows' and all our champ shows are seperate classes for each *** so they wouldn't be restricted? Open shows have same in one class.
Or do some breeds have same *** classes at champ show level?

Yep at champ.shows with no CCs we almost always have mixed D/B classes and not one for each sex. (Or sometimes open has one dog and one bitch class, but all other classes not.) It's only split into sexes when we have tickets.

Oh I see now, thank you very much :)

Whereas we have in Newfie Breed Ch Shows, different colour classes....

Oh do you? never knew that :)

Same with some other breeds like poodles, bull terriers that have white and coloured classes etc.

Yes, we have classes for black or liver, classes for Club members only etc.

Ooh yes we have a special Newcomers class for people that have not shown before January the year before the show.
