The ARC Conformation Awards are based on the number of Rottweilers defeated through Best of Breed and Best of Opposite Sex wins at AKC licensed shows from January 1st through December 31st, as reported in the AKC Rottweiler Award Reports. There are 3 levels of awards: Dogs; Bitches; Top Twenty (intersex).

The number defeated is calculated as follows:

BOB: Number of Rottweilers in competition, minus 1.
BOS: Number of Rottweilers in competition of the same sex, minus 1.

If BOS is a bitch, and the Winners Bitch also goes BOW, then the points are calculated to include all bitches and all class dogs, minus 1. The same would apply if BOS is a dog, and the Winners Dog also goes BOW.

SELECT

Rottweilers receiving an ARC Select Award at the ARC National Specialty receive three points less than winner of Best of Opposite Sex. No points are awarded for receiving an AKC Select at any other shows.

A dog must have a minimum of 5 points to be in the Final Top Ten.
