Author | Topic : OK, now I'm confused about points | |||
Gymea Basic User Posts : 37 |
Some time back a dog of mine (in another kennel) beat the only other 2 of its breed, then won best in group. To me should have won 2 points. but was given 5, as it beat others in group. Great!
Now I have a dog (in another kennel) that has beat the small number of its breed (less than 5), won group and won Best in show (228 dogs in the show) - and she only gets 3 points. Can someone please explain this to me? |

Is it perhaps that the 2nd dog is a Champion while the first dog wasn't? |

I think it is that they only get the maximum number of points that were available in the breeds the dog beat. So if no breed entered had more than 3 points available, that's what the dog would get. |

this post has been edited 1 time(s) OK. This is 21/5 Fenland show www.showdog.com/shows/show_results.aspx?show=Fenland%20Festival%20124) The Australian Cattle Dog winner got 5 points. If CS Astronomical is right, why doesn't the Best In Show get 5 points? What don't I understand? ----- Last edited by Gymea on 5/21/2015 5:40:54 AM |

The Best in Show dog (the Sealy) was already a finished CH. Points from the group are only for championship points - not grand champion points. (Or maybe I misunderstood the question?) |

OP, I think you are confusing GC points and CH points. A dog will only receive GC points for beating others of its breed, while a dog can receive CH for beating dogs of other breeds. So, if a CH dog beats three of its own breed and takes BIS, it would only receive 3 GC points. If a dog that isn't a champion yet goes BIS, it would likely get 5 CH points (assuming that at least one breed at the show had enough dogs competing to allow for 5 CH points) even if there were no other dogs of its breed in the show. I hope that makes sense? I'm terrible at explaining these things in print. |

Thank you Whisky and Topaz. Your answers are great and now I understand. Don't like it much but understand. |
