A matter of great pride to some of the breeder/owner/handlers. One thing has nothing to do with another, They will still be put up over Specials for BOB ,if the judge feels they are better than the Specials dogs.The judge is limited only by the knowledge that the GC points must be awarded only to animals that are FINISHED champions on entry of THAT SHOW, If the judge has a question on the status of a certain dog, he can check with his steward( like asking age of a puppy) Helen Miller Fisher ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2010.
