I do this sometimes. But I’m wondering if it affects their scores or if it’s bad to have them competing against each other

When people dump ALL their dogs in a dog show, constantly, it increases the number of dogs needed to get a Major. Makes some people, like me, not happy.

You also do a disservice to your other dogs in that some may point but not under that judge.
Try spreading them out a bit to give your dogs a chance.

It depends on how many dogs. If you’re a basic acount or have multiple breeds, it’s fine. But if you have a kennel of 30 of the same breed, it throws off the amount of dogs needed to make points the following month

Did you know?
The sit for exam is a modified version of the Stand for Exam. It is generally used in novice level classes and requires the handler to order the dog to sit and then to move away from the dog the length of the leash. The judge will then approach the dog and pet the dog's head.
