2006 Top Twenty Competition

Presented by the Colonial Bloodhound Club

The Colonial Bloodhound Club is pleased to announce a Top Twenty Competition in conjunction with the 2006 National Specialty.  This special event will take place Wednesday evening, October 4.

Using a scale of points, each dog is evaluated according to how closely it conforms to the breed standard.  The dogs are never compared to each other.  It is hoped that this event will be educational and promote discussion, encourage the exchange of ideas, and provide incentive to strive for excellence in the Bloodhound for type, structure, temperament, intelligence and soundness.

Points are awarded from Best of Breed wins only and Bloodhounds defeated from July 1, 2005-June 30, 2006.  These dates are in
