Only AKC champions of record may earn Grand Ch. points. Points are NOT to be awarded to every Ch. winning BOB or BOS.... only those Ch. that are above average are to be considered. As one of our judges put it..."my expectation is that the dog or bitch I award Gr. Ch. points to can go on and place in the Group most of the time, take Group one frequently and win a BIS now and then". Gr. Ch. points do not need to be awarded at every show nor should they be. But there will be occasions like Specialties in which there are more than one quality animal....as in any shows which allow the awarding of AOM's. AOE's, Selects, Premiers, etc. In that case, two entries other than the BOB and BOS may be awarded Gr. Ch. points. It's not hard to figure out. Just do not award the points unless the entry is exceptional. -Kay Reamensnyder and Betty Doerpinghaus -Home of Bedkar German Shepherds -bedkar@xxxxx -Visit our Website: www.bedkargsd.com > From: Kmgraphic2@xxxxxxx > Date: Fri, 7 May 2010 11:53:12 -0400 > Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: AKC <> Grand Champion Title > To: ELG440@xxxxxxx; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > > lol, evan - i surely hope someone can. i am judging in June and have more > than a few questions on this topic, including the following: > > grand CH points may only be awarded to champions of record.
