sorry not sure all i know is yes there are different bands for breeds
Dogs in Band E have more classes and placeings The lower the Band less classes and placeings
May be some one will come on to let you know
In my breed we dropped a band so only first and second in limit and open count now not 3 like it used to be also mpuppy puppy junior post grad or CC res CC Stud Book
But for your band i just dont know good luck with your dog

Moonmaiden has answered the question correctly above :D - Crufts qualification is not band-specific, that only affects qualification for Stud Book Number.

Except for the Yearling classes & that is for Band E breeds only, band E breeds have the highest entries at Champ shows usually like Cavaliers ;)
