It's something that isn't done in Texas anymore, because most of the exhibitors there know each other and travel together. They work together in building Majors and understand any dog on any given day can win, it's all dependent on the judge. My opinion is that is why the numbers remain up in Texas/Oklahoma. Even though exhibitors there want their dog to win and the competition is there, the competition is in the ring but, relish in the fact if your dog wins it wins against some stiff competition....the fun and socialization with one another is always there. |
Yes, Mary I know that is the reason why some dont' let many know where they are going but I never cared about that especially living here in Tx as you well know we try and build majors
We are kind that way! And yes we all travel together and show together and dine together
I wish it was that way everywhere but I know it's not but we in Tx/OKC are just nice
