Other breeds CAN match that. My two other breeds (Golden Retriever & Border Collie) both have multiple events at their nationals. They may not have the exact same events as the GSD do (neither has the Working Dog Invitational, but the BCs have additional herding competitions & events besides AKC herding and the Goldens have a field trial and hunt tests), but they are HUGE nationals and have the same # of events if not more.

I don't know if any other breeds can match that. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2004.
