In the Great Nation to our North unless they have changed there are no majors and minors (they do have bears though) your dog needs to win under three different judges and must have at least one two point win. this is a much better system no more worry about whether the major will hold or folks dropping out for what ever reason. points are based on how many dogs show up. You can also pick up points in group without winning the group. I only finished one dog that finished both here and in Canada and believe it or not the experience in Canada was more enjoyable My Canadian handler passed away a few years ago (NOT BASU). I would like to finish one more dog in Canada before I get too old. Last year teaching and in June 2014 I will be as free as a poor black married man can be.... I do not carry the coat factor or the white gene. Time to go to work. I feel so sorry for my kids. Lol.
