AKC Exhibitor News Four-to-Six Month Puppy
The Four-to-Six Month Puppy competition will be open to dogs that are at least
four months of age but under six months on the day of the event. Classes will
be offered for AKC recognized breeds and varieties as well as Miscellaneous and
FSS breeds. Professional handlers are not permitted to exhibit in this class.

and Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed. Group and Best in Show Puppy
competition will also be offered.

Re: Specialty closed .... maxed out entriesHi Theresa;I'm not sure I would
consider the Wall Street Journal to be any kind of authority on whyone Canine
Breed wins over another.....? Also...seen too many 'slick coat' breeds like
Boxers win to buy that theory about plush coats....and sometimes they ALL seem
pretty much "quick stepping" to me. <G>Also...I'm not sure what you mean by
"people are just not going to show unless there is a class for them"?? The
classes are set up pretty reasonable I think ....for dogs? What kind of class
do you mean that might be needed?
Two puppy classes...two 'kind of' puppy classes.....Novice for the next
step.... Bred byExhibitor for exactly that...American Bred...pretty easy to
understand..and Open..againpretty easy to understand. What other class would
bring in people in your opinion.Remember...this is a DOG SHOW. It's to JUDGE
DOGS! It's not for judging PEOPLE....?I honestly cannot think of another
class that would bring in new people for a dog show? Carolyn

due to maxed out entriesHere is where I got the information...only own GSDs not
Labs.http://www.businessinsider.com/why-labradors-never-win-best-in-show-2013-2Message
below of wrote...Well the Labs are AKC No 1 and the GSD No 2 so why do
theGSD's not have more attending Shows?The reason probably is due to Labs are
showed by breeders, pet ownersas they are family pets or hunting dogs. The Lab
has never been Best of Showat the Westminster but the GSD has won.The German
Shepherd is known to be shown by handlers owned by breeders, with several being
judges for the Specialty or All-Breed Shows. It is just how itis so people are
not going to show unless there is a class for them to which Idoubt will happen.
The Juniors seem not to get the support they should saw at theGSDCA Nationals
they showed during lunch. There was a person there that broughtmy attention to
this. If GSDCA members want more GSDs in attendance at shows they need to
offersomething to bring them in. I do not believe it was always like this as I
remember years agoit was different.Theresascenecrest.geo@yahoo.comOn Fri,

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: Specialty closed due to maxed out entriesYou should
look no further than the statement below at to why entries are down and no new
people coming in GSDs. That is a terrible attitude to have towards other
exhibitors. Granted the GSD did win (and I think only once) Westminster. The
terrier breeds have won Westminster more than any others breeds. Does that
make them superior to all other breeds. I think NOT> I would bet the Lab
people would love to address this statement. Lee Brown Too far from the womb
and too close to the tomb to care about what anyone thinks of me.
