Thanks all. Not my dog today. Another breed. Absent bitch's owner got thoroughly and un-sportsmanly reamed by the breed participants for breaking the major - apparently only one male special entered, not a major in dogs, one bitch short of major, so she thought like some that there was no major to be had in any case. Her biggest error was standing ringside to watch her breed show. LOL. She did inquire before the show if there would be all present in bitches and learned that the major would be broken by one. So she left her bitch home. On May 16, 2010, at 8:24 PM, LeBrowngsd@xxxxxxx wrote: > Wrong she would get a major.
