Is the only way to get majors in this economy is to go for Breed then group 1? (we keep entering and not going because they are falling short..such a waste of money) Are we hurting ourselves when we try to build them? Should we just sit it out and hope AKC will lower the dog/bitch numbers?? Seems like alot of the shows that have been consistantly having majors for years have all fallen short this year. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts.
