Thanks for posting it Not sure it's been posted or not but since I don't have anything else to show right now I guess me and Radar can go for his Grand Championship title LOL...I just love showing him!

That sounds very interesting. Hopefully this will encourage breeders to keep their champions in the ring a bit longer. It will make the larger specialty shows a bit more interesting also.

This is just another way for AKC to make money....I know I'm going to try and get it because Radar is still being shown on a limited basis. I still feel there are some dogs that are champions that is in the ring that shouldn't be and this will just encourage that even more in my opinion. There was a discussion on this on a list I'm on and the only ones I see doing this is the ones that are actively campaigning a dog...but then again I think some that are showing to their championship should be pets instead...oh well just another way for money to be spent I guess.

Good luck to everyone that will participate in this and see ya in the ring

Donna, you are probably right. With the high cost of showing now days I imagine most people don't campaign their dogs unless they are exceptional. Good luck in Denton this weekend if you are showing there. It looks like a nice major for the boys.

Yep.
This is a better way to raise $ than some of the rumors say.
