Hello all yet again,

I have a female Plott Hound ( https://www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=18770843 ) that is at 16 points without any emails from the game that she earned her CH. Just cause I can't find anything, does anyone have any context to point total that she will need that is different from my males? I am honestly curious just so I don't have to worry about it again. Also she has had a day in-between after hitting 16.

Follow up question, is it because she has only gotten 1-2 points each show? Can I ask for help here, I am confused and want to see what else I can do to help her get her title. I am still getting the more complex understanding of the game down, with some success and more on the level plain.

Thanks Y'all!

Your girl needs one more major to finish her CH title. For Plotts, this means she has to win Winners Bitch, Best of Winners, or Best of Opposite over 3 other bitches or Best of Breed over 3 dogs total. This is determined by the individual breed Schedule of Points.

Your dog becomes a champion by receiving fifteen points and two majors. A major is a win of 3 points or more at one time. The majors are included in the total fifteen points needed. A dog gets points by winning Winner's Dog/Winner's Bitch awards or higher in shows. A dog can receive anywhere from zero to five points. How many points your dog receives depends on how many dogs he or she beats and on the breed schedule of points, which is based on the number of show entries for that breed in the past month.

Try putting a handler on her for the next show; select a handler with the smallest number beside their name Go to its show record, press "Choose Handler" and reference the list on the right for numbers.

Oh, I either am blind like a bat or just forgot. I will try to get that to happen but no for sure answers with the judges at the shows.

She seems to be a favorite! So either you need another bitch entry, or you need to purposefully make a major. As suggested above, you'll need probably add a handler for an automatic win over your other dogs. Or... you can find a judge that favors bitches over dogs. She'll probably go BOB "naturally" that way.
