Based on information in past newsletters and AKC past show results, the winners of the ABC’s National Specialty (NS) have been compiled. However, this list is somewhat incomplete as the ABC held events prior to the 2010 NS. If you have information from 2006-2009 (or earlier), please email the Archives & History Committee (archives@beauce.org). If you have photos from any of these past events we would love to have them, we would also love to be able to post photographs of past winners.
The results are broken down by year, location (state), judge of the NS, with entries/competitors, followed by the winner, dog/bitch, owner and breeder, and then any additional information about the event itself.
