What causes a dog to get a DNP and how can I improve on a dog in order to get him GCH points? Elixer Sebastian got a DNP yesterday and I want to get some tips on how to take him to a GCH

You didn't put a handler on him.

Oohhhh. Dang it. I had done a ton of handlers before and then forgot to add them after I entered him in additional shows.

Once they're finished and champions only two dogs, one male and one female get GCH points. Whomever is Best of Breed and Best of Opposite Sex.
It'll take time, but he should get there!

Different judges have different preferences, some like handlers, some prefer the owner to do it.

To see who likes what, use this

And click on their names. I believe Mark Wilson, Randal Harris, Bruce Bass and Pamela Geist are the only owner handler judges right now.
