Several people did say almost exactly what you are saying, "so what, it is only 
an all-breed show, it isn't as good as going Select at a National!!!"    Yes, I 
was deflated.

BTW, Best in Show did not take only one judge.  It took three and dogs defeated 
were many more than at any National.

Hi Paula, I came about this thread a bit late as I was at work, however, with 
all due respect,I am not quite sure I follow you here. The GV or GVX title is 
just a fancy way the GSDCA says Best of Breed or Best Opp. Sex. The 
aforementioned titles can be awarded at any specialty or all-breed show and 
being a champion is not a requirement, I think you know that. To say that 
because only one judge awards the title at the national, therefore it doesn't 
rank as high as a dog finishing, would be like saying any judge that gave you 
BOB, or  a group win or a BIS  really didn't mean as much or wasn't a 
significant win since only one judge was standing in the center of the ring. I 
don't really think that is what you were implying, that is sort of the 
perception, though. Remember how excited you were when Harley went BIS? Think 
about how deflated you would feel if someone said "so what not a big deal, its 
only one judge." C
