Puppies and junior dogs can get a head start in the Conformation ring too, setting them up for success for their showing career. One puppy-focused event, the 2023 AKC/Royal Canin National All-Breed Puppy & Junior Stakes, was held in on December 15 conjunction with the AKC National Championship weekend in Orlando, FL. These conformation shows specifically showcase puppies (dogs aged 6-12 months) and juniors (dogs 12-18 months), displaying breeding programs and future purebred conformation stars.

The even took place in one day, before the AKC National Championship conformation shows begun. 1,717 dogs started out in their breed rings to crown Best of Breed. The dog that is crowned Best of Breed will move on to Groups, where each winner from their breed will compete against one another to be crowned the group winner. Groups include the Herding Group, Hound Group, Non-Sporting Group, Sporting Group, Terrier Group, Toy Group, and Working Groups. Once the Group Winners are decided, those winners will move on to the final round of judging, to determine Best in Stakes. Dogs were judged by esteemed panel of judges, consisting of Mr. Clay Coady, Mr. Terry Stacy, and Mr. Dennis B. Sprung.

Best in Stakes Winner

The winner of the 2023 Best in Stakes in the 2023 AKC/Royal Canin National All-Breed Puppy & Junior Stakes was also the winner of the Working Group. Rottweiler 鈥淕ranger鈥� CH Von Hawes Forever Forward who is 12.5 months old, took home the title, handled by Erin Piercy Foreman of New Castle, CA, also his breeder and owner. 鈥淓specially as a breeder-owner-handler, this is a dream come true,鈥� she says. 鈥淭o do it with such a lovely puppy, it鈥檚 amazing.鈥�

Remarkably, they haven鈥檛 done too much training yet to get him in show-ready shape. Friday was only the fourth time he鈥檚 ever been in the ring, but his accolades already speak for themselves. Among others, he also recently won Best Bred-By at the National Rottweiler Specialty, when he was only six months old. 鈥淲e decided to bring him out to try for this, and the stars aligned,鈥� she says.

Piercy Foreman has been in the breed for 23 years, and she and Granger鈥檚 other breeders, Peter
Hawes and Kathleen Hawes all had high hopes for the puppy from the start. 鈥淲e had high hopes when he turned six months and we saw what his quality was, we knew he had something special.鈥� He also won at the Best Puppy at the National Rottweiler Specialty, and had breeder approval, which meant a lot to Piercy Foreman.

鈥淭hen today seeing the woman who finished him, a breeder-judge, was here watching and she鈥檚 like 鈥榟e looks even better than he did when I had him,'鈥� she says. Piercy Foreman says this is just the beginning for Granger. 鈥淲e鈥檙e really really proud. 2026 is gonna be his year, we gotta let him grow up.鈥�
