It's probably because the specialty judges cannot wrap their brains around the concept of only one select in each sex beyond BOB and BOS. Starting next weekend, specialty shows are going to be seriously interesting.

BUT, those eligible in the BOB class do include the winner(s) of the veteran class(es) - how is the judge supposed to know whether that vet is a CH of record or not? this whole thing sounds like a future paperwork nightmare - points awarded ... points taken away due to ineligibility. swiss cheese. diane ----------------------------------------- In a message dated 5/7/2010 8:46:36 A.M.
