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.

Wilfredo Feaster likes Keeshonds, but not as much as he favors Sealyham Terriers

So close ..... but so far, Star Dreaming got 2nd in show under Wilfredo Feaster, but beaten out of top spot by a Malamute.....

DAMN YOU FEASTER!

I have a low SS girl from my latest litter on offer if anyone is interested. She has 9.4 FQ, and 9.1 size. I will hang onto her for a few days before FHing her.
