So if a show ends up with a 2 point show for dogs and a 2 point show for bitches, then the total number of entries, dogs and bitches, is added up and used to determine the points for the BOW. That makes it very interesting... Something we should think about. Something else the CKC did was award points for each placement in the group. You only get Group 1 pts in the USA.
