Cindy, I appreciate your thoughts and would agree EXCEPT that there are many specialty dogs that do not do well in the AB ring---I KNOW I KNOW--but it is true. In light of this I understand why folks only show at specialties---some AB judges just do not recognize shoulders and the rings are so small they never see suspension. I am not AB judge bashing--they just don't always understand our breed.

However if I had already paid my entry fee and then found it it was a major, I would definitely go ahead and show him. > > I've been told that it is sort of an unspoken rule not to show a dog in a major when you have both majors.....I dont' find that most people follow that rule. You do see dogs advertised in the Review all the time "FINISHED WITH FOUR MAJORS!!!". With entries down as much as they are, it could be that my dog is what holds the major so I don't expect too many people to complain...unless I win of course. > > Cindy > > solanagsd <solanagsd@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Why would you pull an aminal IF it needed single points???
