this is just a start.. we are heading that way..
but in Canada we don't have the same system for determining "how many" it takes 
to make a major - all breeds compete the same.. so, when you get a new breed 
that has very few dogs in the country, getting that 2 point major can be 
problematic..

  I stand corrected, but its still better than the way AKC does it...Ed

    On the contrary, Ed, Canada now has a "major" requirement

    "Conformation championship points are awarded at Conformation Shows. To
    become a Conformation Champion, your dog must earn at least 10 points under
    at least three different judges and have earned at least one 2-point win,
    either at the breed or group level. Your dog must also be individually
    registered with the CKC or have an Event Registration Number. "
    Points are awarded as follows:
    dogs competing 1 2 3-5 6-9 10-12 13 or more
    points 0 1 2 3 4 5

    these days it is often difficult to get 2 points in some breeds...BOW points
    are given according to the combined number of class dogs shows of both
    sexes.

    a dog can also earn points with a 1st to 4th group placings if enough breeds
    are competing in the group

    > Once again adding my unpopular opinion ( no wonder I got trounced in
    the election...lol)...I say do like the Canadians, get rid of majors...have
    a dog win 15 points under 3 different judges, end of story...I know what
    you're thinking, you're thinking that will increase the amount of so-called
    cheap champions, what ever that means...I say with the way this sport is
    going anything that increases anything is a good thing ( except for cost
    increases)...this way no one has to worry about holding or breaking
    majors...the show will be worth 1,2,3,4, or 5 points depending on the number
    shown...we may as well not have majors now with the decrease in numbers to
    make a major...what was it 15 or so years ago you needed 60 or so bitches
    to make a 5 point major.....now its hard to find a specialty with 60 dogs
    total....it will never happen, but it should...Ed Hill
