All World Champions are Automatic. They went in this year. There is a list of them in this years yearbook.

Here is the whole HOF INFO for your reading pleasure.

7. The BOD will take all the nominations and narrow the list to five (5) males and five (5) females to be voted on by the General Membership. Also (5) males and (5) females for show dogs. The list will be scaled back to (5) by number of years deceased or by the most nomination votes.

2. The second year, take ten (10) dogs that meet the Automatic Induction requirements from the year 1960-present will be brought into the HOF. Also, ten (10) dogs that may or may not meet automatic criteria, from any year, to be considered as “Foundation Stock” will be brought into the HOF.
