I have to laugh at GSD folks. In all other breeds BBEx is the PREMIER class to finish dogs out of. I have finished several Dals from BBEx (with 2-3 specialty majors) and several of my Flat-Coats have also finished from BBEx either by my self or the co-breeders. Not sure how many medallions I have now. At our National, BBEx in both sexes is often the biggest class... I think I know of a GSD bitch that is doing extremely well in BBEx and her breeder/owner/handler is INCREDIBLY proud of her as he should be..
