Someone asked me to compare the 2011 entry to the 2009 entry in Ohio. Here you go: 2009 2011 Dogs: 119 81 Bitches: 153 117 Veterans 41 21 Dog specials: 57 66 Bitch specials: 39 46 Total: 409 331 My conclusion is two-fold: first, people who own specials will show no matter what-it does not matter where the show is or how the economy is. Second: Ed influences the entry of specials.
