Thank you all for sharing your experiences and knowledge on this subject. This weekend at Mission Circuit is the first AB show in SoCal that will be utilizing the Grand Champion point system. I'm not showing until the following weekend, so it will be interesting to hear the opinions and experiences of those who showed at Mission Circuit.

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