It still only takes one dog/bitch to beat you for the points. And, yes, I
agree that the quality in those shown is tremendous. It costs so much to
show/travel, etc. etc. any more that folks are only showing their very best.

Ms Martello raises a good question! ( she always does). I have changed
my proposal! Have three regional Nationals NOT on the same weekend, open to
ALL comers! You could have one dog/bitch win more than one regional.....
With three Nationals perhaps many folks can get to one or two of them!....
I say we do it on a trial basis for 2018!... I see it now on the cover of
the Review! " Flower Boy's Dog goes GV in the West, in the Mid-West, and in
the East!.... lol ... I can tell you 1000 reasons why that won't happen...
I have a hard time just finishing a dog... Hell its only happened once! lol

I loved this post because it allows me to bring up an issue I have trouble
with.
I know, don't use a preposition to end a sentence with.
But, I keep hearing people telling me how easy it is to finish a German
shepherd, not that the shows are so much smaller. In my opinion, (the only
one that matters), the quality is so much higher, and the entries such high
standards, that the challenge is the same. I don't see that it is easier
to finish a German shepherd than it was 20 years ago.
I don't find that it is easier to be true. The number of champions each
month in the review stay about the same. I have two bitches, both with
both majors, and one needing but two points to finish. Honey Be Good died
needing one point to finish.
It is just as hard, and maybe it is just me.
Do others find it easy to finish a dog?
