If you are going to entry this cat also to veteran – or determination class (in addition to normal class), you need to make the entries to these classes separately as described above). After that you can create the entries for other cats (same way as above).

When you have created all entries, CONFIRM those by clicking the ”Proceed to confirm the entries” – button.

NOTE! Breeder classes are created automatically. There is no need to create entry for that, except if the class is chargeable. If you are entering ONLY to breeder class, choose some of your owned cats and choose the class as breeder class, in this case you will need to pay the normal show fee (or stamp card). If the cat participates to normal class, there is no need for separate entry to breeding class, the entry will be automatic if the cat has enough offspring for the class. If the cat participates only to breeding class, entry the cat via the normal process above and choose the class as breeding class and pay the normal show fee (or stamp card)

Entries to breeder class (or other special classes) can varies between shows, remember always check the show invite for instructions.
