Some breeds win more than others. I think Wire Fox Terriers win more Best in Shows than any other breed. I know this is the breed that has the most BIS at Westminster. As much as I hate to admit it - money has a lot to do with it. I have a friend that had the #1 Bulldog for several years and she said they spent $150,000 a year to campaign the dog. A few years ago there was a Doberman that had his own jet. This year, there is a sporting dog that advertises his jet in Canine Chronicle. Bill Cosby regularly campaigns a dog. Amy Tan the author co-owns the Yorkie, Tip Top Come Fly With Me. He had money behind him and he had a good career. The Yorkie, Tyava Sure Shot has done well. He had 3 All Breed Best in Shows last year and got Group placements at some of the bigger televised shows.

I appreciate what you all do, and it must be a very hard work. What is your take on this? |
