I guess my concern is that with time and money and a good dog, you can  
get any level of grand championship never having to go Best of Breed.   
I think to be in the Parade of Greats, the dog has to have done  
something great like in performance, be a Ch. UD, herding Ch. or be an  
"outstanding" representative of the breed.  I know  dogs that have  
different levels of Grand Ch. but have never gone Best of Breed, Group  
1 or BISS/BIS  and just don't think they need to be represented as one  
of the Greats.
We all know that AKC added the GCh. to get more money and to have a  
venue for someone who wants to continue showing after getting their  
Ch.  I am not saying a GCh. is not a good thing after all as a Veteran  
I am showing Strider, periodically when Art can fit him into his  
schedule, for his GCh. just because he loves showing and deserves it  
but should that only qualify him for Parade of Greats, I don't think so.

JMHO
