What I would love to see is at specialties, regionals, or national shows where you have classes with more dogs in it than two or three all breed shows combined, more than one dog gets points. At some golden Nationals we have had 80 in a CLASS and going reserve or taking first over 80 in a class you get nothing zero zip nada. And the most you can get is 5 points. I think reserve should get maybe 3 points also and maybe 1 point for the class when its over a certain number. My 2 cents. I do like the reserve Best in Show. At the IABC International shows my golden Duncan was awarded Reserve Best In Show Bred By twice. Michele Rock Star remember Westminster is really only an all Breed Show with no class dogs.
