So I would have to say second place is not bad. And yes, you are paying for an opinion. Hopefully the judge that day will love your dog over others and give your dog the points. Some days are great and others not so good. It is all just a chance we take and hope for the best. And yes, it does get very confusing at times - when to go in again.

Since you were not aware of the other thread, here's a breakdown of it.
Thread was started by someone saying that one of their chocolate offsprings had won at a UKC dog show.
Found out, one yorkie (the chocolate) was shown. There were no other dogs that were being shown in that group. The chocolate yorkie was awarded a second place ribbon.
