I don't see HOW they could move an animal up to Best when, even though the Reserve moves up to the equivalent of WD/WB, there is no way to compare to the opposite sex to designate a 'Best'. Example - the bitch is better than the dog therefore gets Best. However, if the bitch win is disallowed whats to say that the male, currently BOS, is not far supperior to the Reserve female??? The Best and Best Opp is equavelent to the BOW award, without a comparison there can be no BOW and in the Futurity there can be no Best or Best Opp. -- Suzanne www.tsalishepherds.com Home of BIS/BISS Ch Yancy HIC HT PT RA CD TC CGC BH, Helios SchH3, Ch Flair, Tess [150 PLUS ROM points/40 ATAA points], Lil' Miss Gilli RN[Mjr Res Winner] and all the others waiting at the bridge.
