Yes it does. I can do limited showing now, distance and financial wise, and I thought Canfield was my best bet for majors. Looks like I really lucked out. There are only eight dogs, 2 points, and if someone who feels the way I do, actually does not show, then I've blown what would amount to two or three other shows on that one weekend. If I wanted a 1 point show, I could get it by entering all my dogs in any all breed show around here that usually has no gsd entry. I was actually interested in some good competition. Denise W.

What's surprises me about the Canfield(Steel Valley)is the judges except for Thur all are Breeder Judges. I think Canfield usually draws 4 points. Bob Neiman / Walled Lake, Mich.
