Note: this generally is the 1st through 4th place winners in regular Classic classes. It is our understanding that there is no time limit on the eligibility, so that a winner did not have to exercise eligibility in the year in which the dog was awarded Yuryo)

- The copies of pedigrees, issued by the Nippo acknowledged kennel clubs, are required to submit as well.
- For US, dogs must have JKC pedigrees. (Note: This will mean owners of dogs born in the US, will have extra layer of paperwork)
