I've heard that Majors have been difficult on the East Coast. Not here in the Central States. A no longer Member of YT sent her dog out here and he finished in 7 shows, including breed from the classes and a Group 4. On the average I've finished my dogs in 6 - 7 months and maybe showing 1 weekend a month.

Specialty is a great place to learn..... the pace is very fast, intense and confusing. You have Sweeps on all day friday, beginning at 8 in the morning until late in the afternoon. NY Club all day Saturday and the Mother Club on Sunday. If you get to come, wear something that can I can pick out, I'd love to meet you.
