(a) For the purpose of Classifications, an exhibit shall be interpreted
as follows: All purebred registered animals, whether owned by one person or by

production of the farm or breeding unit on which they are maintained.
(b) A Breeding Unit is defined as follows: In each classification where
the same or common interests are involved in more than one breeding operation,
such operations are considered as one Breeding Unit. In all cases where there
is any doubt that more than one breeding unit exists, the interpretation shall
be that only one breeding unit exists. The responsibility of proof of
separation of breeding units shall rest with the exhibitor(s).
