You did absolutely nothing wrong by exhibiting your dog. You didn't know if you would win or not. Also, if it lacked a major by one dog, and there are Specials, whose to say your dog won't go Best of Breed or Best of Winners and pick up that extra point. Congrats on your win...keep it up...and for those that complain, smile and put your Winners ribbon on the dashboard for the drive home.
