Saw a HUGE entry of Samoyeds much like that. In talking to someone ringside.......they pointed out that these other Breeds do not have the volume of Specialty shows like we have in our GSD's.....if ANY.....and so the All Breeds ARE the big platform for their Breed. HOPEFULLY our Breed will be able to maintain our wonderful Specialty shows. Carolyn marhaven@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.Marhaven.com ----- Original Message ----- From: E.G.

The name of the show, the judges entries in all of the shows in this circuit & follow up ro see how many are shown. ore Specials (even total) than individual class gender entries & that number is amazing.
