Thanks
Butterfly Wings has had her fling ---- fingers crossed!!!

LOL. You really were waiting eh? I havent even used him yet! Best of luck! Cant wait to see how they turn out!

I emailed Jeff about the 2 specialty thing, he never got back to me.

If he wont get back to us, Im really wondering about pulling entries from one show or the other. My gut tells me that they will both count as the specialty.

He's a Keeper FINALLY lived up to his potential, and sired this fine young man (who I named wrong.) A fine young lady would have been nicer, but beggars cant be choosers....

Wow -- a really lovely boy Gypsy, your faith in Keeper paid off

You can always reset the name -- that option is available for a few days. I have done it where I have realised that I have used a name currently in use in another kennel ..... or I just don't think the name suits.

Have put another boy up for stud duties.

I got a reply about the specialties.

You can only enter one. The system will knock your dogs out of one of the shows.

As much as a specialty is great, the Nationals are more important so I will probably withdraw most entries from the specialty.

I will put another specialty up. My bad guys. There are some payouts for whoever stays entered.

It's not your fault at all! Easy mistake for anyone to make. I may still leave a few entered - but majority will be in the Nationals

Yes, Im sorry Winterheart. I'll probably leave a few entered, but will likely withdraw at least a couple for nationals. I'll enter the next one though!

I am keeping a number in Winter Heart's show --- Bruce Bass doesn't suit most of my dogs anyway *lol*
So I have split my entries almost down the middle, between both shows

Will enter your next one.

Can someone point out what I'm missing?

I have these two bitch puppies and I can't see why the one is higher SOP than the other.

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13865252 is 94.75

www.showdog.com/dog.aspx?id=13865253 is 94.95

Is it that the first has an 8.7 as her lowest # vs the 8.9 of the other one? It seems that pretty much everything else cancels each other out...

I'm leaning towards keeping the first, because of her FQ, but would like opinions if you have time!

I think, and I may be wrong, that different traits are weighted differently based on the breed standards. While their numbers are close, they are different. The 94.75, while technically weaker on the SOP, does have some strong traits. If you're trait breeding, she may do well as a broodie.

I glanced at the importance of the traits, I'll look into it further, but it seemed like most of the traits evened out.

I'm mainly curious because the first girl is below my "cut off" SOP...but I'll likely make an exception for her anyways!

Hey guys, in case you miss it, we have someone posting in our forum looking to get started, if anyone has something to sell them. I invited them to come join us over here on this thread.

Sigh. 3rd in show under Feaster again tonight. So close and yet so far...

My girl didn't even place under him. Hmm not sure why.

He seems kinda picky about handlers. IDK who you had on her.
