HUNTING BEAGLE GRAND CHAMPION ( HB GR. CH. )
Earned by winning five Hunting Beagle Champion events at a U.K.C. licensed hunt. In this portion of the event, only HB Champions compete against HB Champions.
The number of dogs awarded HB Champion wins towards their HB Grand Champion degree will be based on the number of HB Champions entered in the event.
