Top Twenty Event The Top Twenty Competition is a showcase of the top dogs from the previous year. A three judge panel evaluates how closely each dog conforms to the breed standard, using methods to limit fault judging or over-emphasizing of specific attributes. The dog receiving the highest number of points will be the panel’s winner of the Top Twenty Competition. A People’s Choice winner will also be selected by the vote of the audience. The winners will be announced at the Awards Banquet. |
