Dog of the Year points calculation - Only dogs owned by region 11 club members and run in stakes hosted by Region 11 clubs were counted. Wins or dogs owned by people NOT in a Region 11 club were not included. 
Points for 30 minute stakes were based on 3 pnts for 1st place, 2 pnts fo r2nd place and 1 pnt for third place - multiplied by the number of starter in the stake. 
Points for 60 minute stakes were based on 6 pnts for 1st place, 4 pnts for 2nd place and 2 pnts for third place - multiplied by the number of starter in the stake. 
Cumulative points for each dog were then totaled and the DOY placements in each category determined by the total number of points for stakes in that category.
