So honestly, I would like to know what IS the difference and also, WHY is
there a difference? I am hoping that the knowledgeable folks on this list
can
answer this.
There should be one and a lot if not most of our dogs can and do win in
either ring, but over the years, I have found the Specialty ring more forgiving
of certain faults (rears, size, ears that wave hello as a dog goes by; these
things can and do win when the rest of the package is correct which they
wouldn't do quite so easily in the AB ring). Conversely, dogs with not a
whole
lot on either end can get lucky in the AB ring when they are cute and trained
right (stand pretty and bait). But if you have balanced, correctly sized,
well trained dogs who are clean coming and going and know your judges (phew,
that's a mouthful!), you can win in either venue.
