For the first century of the sport, no one knew which dogs were number one, or two, or three, or eleventh. It’s not certain if the sport even cared who was number one. With far less than half the number of shows back then, dogs more likely became famous for winning the big shows, the shows with the most entries, the most prestige. Then along came Irene Castle Phillips Khatounian Schlintz (née Foote) who created the sport’s first ranking system in 1956. It became prominent in the late 1960s.
