Beginners

Beginner * – no more than 2 years of experience. Participating in exhibitions also counts as experience. An athlete may compete as a “beginner” multiple times in competitions for 12 months, even if he or she is the winner. In the second year, he must enter the “Open” class, even if he is not a winner. In this category, hairstyles are performed in accordance with the FCI in the following areas: trimming, poodles, spaniels and setters, as well as pure breeds.
