In PP a dog can stay in the open class or champion class and get as many wins and HOY points it can, BUT come Jan. 1st if the dog has the points and wins neccisary to move up that dog can not be run in a trial until it is certified and moved up to the next class.
The reason for this rule is if a person wants to run for HOY in the open class or champion class they don't have to worry about spending a lot of time and money to get to the top of the HOY and then not make it because their dog had to move up and it was also set up to keep someone from running the same dog in the same class year after year when it has enough points to move up.
Option to hold dog as open...
