Entries are down, but we have had a lot more specials shown locally. I
think it's neat to see more of the CHs shown.

Do you suppose that they think it is a lack of awards that has entries
down ???
:0) Maybe if they offered gas credits or folding green. Those are the
things
that will get entries up :0)

You have to admit that they are pretty good at getting every last cent out
of
the owners of the rather limited number of dogs still showing in
conformation.
Lotta love it!

Platinum.
AKC GRAND CHAMPION PROGRAM ADDS ACHIEVEMENT LEVELS
-- Grand Champions Can Now Earn Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum
Designations --
New York, NY- The American Kennel Club® is pleased to announce a new
enhancement to the Grand Champion program - Achievement Levels. Beginning
May
11th, in conjunction with the implementation of the 2011-2012 AKC Point
Schedule, Grand Champions will have the ability to earn the Bronze,
Silver,
Gold
and Platinum designations at AKC all-breed, group and specialty shows.
The Bronze Grand Championship will require 100 points, the Silver Grand
Championship will require 200 points, the Gold Grand Championship will
require 400 points and the Platinum Grand Championship will require 800
Grand
Championship points.
Upon reaching each level, owners will receive a special recognition
medallion and certificate, and the AKC website will be updated monthly
with the
names and breeds of all Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum dogs.
"We are happy to highlight the highest achievers in the Conformation ring
with the creation of the Grand Championship Achievement Levels," said
Robin
Stansell, AKC Vice President of Event Operations. "Many exhibitors
brought
their Champions back into the rings to complete the Grand Championship or
continued showing when they normally would have stopped after obtaining a
Championship title. The Achievement Levels give them an opportunity for
continued recognition and achievement."
The online GCH Breed Lists will be expanded from the top 25 to 100 dogs
including Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum level designations. To keep
up-to-date with the competition, a new Top 100 All-Breed Grand Champions
list
will be featured at _www.akc.org/grandchampionship/_
(http://www.akc.org/grandchampionship/)
Grand Championship judging will remain the same: all Champions of Record
entered in the Best of Breed/Variety competition will be eligible to
compete
for Grand Championship points at no additional entry fee, and points will
be awarded, at the judge's discretion, to Best of Breed/Variety, Best of
Opposite Sex, Select Dog and Select Bitch. Points are calculated using
the
same AKC Point Schedule as is used for Championship points. Once a dog
completes the Grand Championship title, points will continue to accrue as
it
reaches the Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum levels; there is no reset.
If a
dog has already accrued 100 or more Grand Championship points since the
beginning of the Grand Championship program, the Bronze, Silver, Gold and
Platinum designation will be awarded retroactively. For assistance with
determining point totals, view our Grand Championship Point Counting
