I won't say that Canada has the best system..I think sometimes it is  
just too easy to finish a Canadian Championship but this is happening  
more in breeds where the entries are always low.  In the GSD case  
there is always enough dogs to have a good competition.  We need 10  
points from 3 judges and 1 majors ( in wich you have to beat at least  
2 dogs).  I think it's more fun cause a lot of people just show their  
own dogs.  And it is rare that someone pull out their dogs of the  
competetion for stategic reasons...

I think the AKC system is just a big business for handlers.  Let's  
face it.  How can a regular person come into a ring against all those  
known handlers and beat 35 bitch just to make 1 majors!!! And that is  
if those people enter their dogs..cause most show you have a lot of  
entry and no dogs in the ring..
Most of the people I know would never show in the states because they  
just can't afford it.  It is unfortunatly a game for the Rich and  
Famous..not for regular people who works regular job.  I for myself  
don't like throwing my money down the drain and waste my time for  
nothing.
They don't want to include new folks...They just care about money money.

This is going to kill the Dog Show scene in a long run.  When people  
just want to win at any cost.  Where is the fun??

Maybe it is one of many things we think differently (canada-us).  I  
just don't think it is a system that help people getting involve. JMHO
