Hello, in Portugal there are several annual competitions that every dog that is entered at a show is automatically entered. In each show that the dog is entered he gets points according to the BOB, placements in group and BIS.
This year I was just getting enough points to go to the Royal Champion Final which is a gala show for champion dogs, but you have to have a certain amount of points to be allowed to participate. Denyah got her points with 3 shows due to the group placements and then I went to 5 more shows just for fun. So in total Denyah went to 8 shows out of 24.
It was with great surprise that a received a call from a friend saying that she was the 3rd best dog in the 1st group. I was not even trying to achieve any placement at this competition because the best 10 shows counts and I only went to 8, Now that I know I am so sorry that I did not go to 1 or 2 more because she was only 2 points away from the second and he went to a minimum of 10 shows.
