This class was created to record, as the name suggests it, for dogs not participating in the show, for example for dogs that the exhibitor does not want to leave alone at home. Upon request, the organizer can temporarily open this class to a breed not eligible for this show, such as a Labrador or a Shetland Shepherd.

It is mandatory that dogs not participating in the show, but accompanying the exhibitor, are recorded in this class because, thus, they are included in the list of dogs (called "DDPP list") communicated to the Prefecture and are subject to veterinary control on entry. Otherwise, access to the site is prohibited.

On the other hand, any dog recorded in the not competing class cannot participate in the character test, natural aptitude tests, herd initiation, eye disease screening and cannot be confirmed free of charge.
