right i need to make sure i am reading this and thinking right

minor puppy is For dogs of six and not exceeding nine calendar months of age on the FIRST day of the Show

so does this mean a puppy is still classed as minor puppy untill the day they turn 10 months old? or until the day they are 9 months old?

They can enter Minor Puppy up to and including the day they become 9 months old

if they are a day under nine months on the first day of a 4 day show and are scheduled on the last day the can still comptete as a minor puppy indeed the same applys to puppy, best puppy in breed might even be a year and 2 days old if they were a year to the day on the first day of the show when the show is run over more that one day, they are out of puppy the day they are a year and a day old, three of my dogs won their last bpis the day they where a year(did check with kc when filling the form in to make sure though)

As others have said, they can enter minor puppy upto the day they are 9 months & not older. They can only be older if the show is held over more than a day.

If pup born on 15th of the month and a show is held over 3 days of 15th, 16th & 17th and the day your breed is scheduled for is on the 3rd day of 17th then you can enter your pup in Minor puppy. But if you have a different show, which is only for one day, on the 16th, then you are not eligable(sp?) for minor puppy, as he was 9 months the previous day & must go in puppy.

Hope that helps to clarify it.

thanks for all the replys, i had complete brain frezze over this, turns out he will be 9 months and 9 days on the first day of the show so he will have to go into puppy, you wouldnt believe i have been doing this 5 years now, it always seamed that all the pups i have had only ever go into puppy as there are not many show with minor puppy classes and all of mine have missed minor puppy classes at champ shows. now were just counting down the day for his first show at the end of the month.
