Ok…I took a break for a bit, and I come back to see that shows are being flooded with Starter Dogs, and now it takes like 29 for a major?!

Please quit throwing all dogs in one show! It skews the numbers needed for majors. If you must show Starters, spread them out in every show every day!

The breed will never get back to normal numbers needed for majors if this keeps happening! It’s really disheartening…

Yes, though your non-starters will likely always win over the ones that are screwing up the point schedule anyway. Maybe the 10 or so kennels who are probably the same person isn't aware of how the point schedule changes with entries and that more than a certain amount isn't necessary to get majors.

Yes, once I have sessioned dogs of age, they would win over the unsessioned starters…if those kennels are even still active then! There haven’t been any entries in a few days. If not, then it will be quite a while before I can get any dogs finished with these high numbers lol

I've started with Starter dogs in Plott's, with a couple of hidden dogs to use.

I would be grateful if you were willing to sell some puppies.

BTW, this is NOT ME...lol.
