Zeus should have been Best Bred By, but the Best of Breed winner was mistakenly awarded it, and according to the CKC 'rep' that award will be withdrawn.  The rules specify that the dog must be handled at all levels by a breeder-owner and that matted, OK corded, dog was handled in the breed by a professional handler and in the BBE competition by the breeder/owner.  Not a good idea, but the they tried to do it so quickly that the spectators are the ones that caught it.
