Progeny Classes in Breeds with Multiple Varieties
The following provisions apply to breeds in which the sire/dam may be of a different coat variety than the offspring.
A progeny class may be entered either in the same variety as the sire or dam, or in a different variety from that of the sire or dam.
Example: the dam is a Smooth-Coated Chihuahua and the offspring are Long-Coated Chihuahuas.
Only one progeny class may be entered per sire or dam at any one show.
Example: if a Smooth-Coated Chihuahua dam has four Smooth-Coated offspring and four Long-Coated offspring, only one of these groups may be presented in the progeny class competition.
This provision applies only to breeds whose varieties share the same basic breed number.
For example, the following combination is permitted:
FCI No. 218.1 Chihuahua, Smooth Coat
FCI No. 218.2 Chihuahua, Long Coat
Judging Arrangements
As a general principle, the progeny class shall be judged on the day when the variety of the sire or dam is scheduled for judging at the show.
If the sire or dam is not entered at the show, the progeny class shall be judged on the day when the offspring’s variety is scheduled for judging.
No specific show regulation governs the order of judging. Show organizers are therefore encouraged to arrange the judging schedule in the manner that best supports the efficient and smooth running of the event.
