DD,
I am not telling you where to show your dogs--I can only tell you how I
feel. When Henry put a 3rd major on Punky, I felt that I robbed someone
else of a major. When Forest finished this summer, she needed one point,
but took two at that last show--I felt guilty there too. For me it has
nothing to do with a dog's quality--specialties AND all-breeds included. My
dogs have ALWAYS taken majors and minors in both venues, which is the way it
should be IMHO. There IS quality in both venues. I DO understand about one
point shows: the Canadian championships do not matter as much as the
American ones, for that very reason.
