opps- I will try without making it clear as mud.. Most of these ribbons were at specials which the rosettes are changed..
First the breed is divided by sex- males and females. Each class- the winner is given a blue ribbon which says first place, the second place is red. After each class ( except BOB) finishes- then the each sex goes into the ring for " winners dog/ bitch". The winner is " Winners ribbon" which is purple, and reserve winners ( second place) which is white on left side, and darker purple right side. The two winners ( male and females) then goes into BOB. BOB can include males or females as champions- with the two winners ( ie dog and bitch). There placements there are ( here is were the ribbons will confuse you as the rosettes are speciality wins) Best of Breed in AKC is Purple and gold. Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed is Red and White..
The pictures of Micheal shows the rosette given for BOB and then the other rosette is for Hound group winner. Leonie and Gabriel are from Canada shows, Micheal is now in Columbia and also shows in California
Zubins picture is first place in his class ( blue ribbon) and Best of Winners ( BOW) which is white left side- blue white. Galina is first place class ( blue) and Winners bitch ( purple).. When they both take winners- its nerve wrecking to see both your babies in the BOB ring to say the least.. lol..
