@tanza:
Well once you get on a roll, they go quick…. it is the majors around here that are a real "pain" in the butt to find.....
**YES, major pain in the butt especially for those
of us who live and show in division 8, where it takes 10 dogs 11
bitches for a 3 pointer. 6 dog 7 bitches for just 2 points.
That's like a major in some divisions! Sigh….......tough tough tough!
The numbers have dropped, I think it was 13 dogs and 13 bitches for
a 3 pointer last year or the year before. We hardly have entries over 10
dogs total in both sexes here in Colorado. We have to travel hundreds
of miles to get our majors, or have to recruit breeders from out of
state and we each enter 3,4 dogs in order to build a 3 point major.
It's very very tough. I think last time we have a major here was like 3 years
ago. It was one bitch shy of being a major, and the class bitch ended up
winning BOS over two bitch specials to get the major, and thank God Winners
Dog went BOW to share the major. And that dog was my Radar!
I was floating that day! I remember that day very well as I showed the bitch in
breed as it was a client dog, and I handed Radar off to a friend and she
managed to win BOW with him for the major.
