How many exhibitors leave the dog show after losing the breed? How many exhibitors win the breed and do not place in the group? How many exhibitors will proclaim, “That judge doesn’t like hairy dogs, that judge only puts up his friends, or that judge doesn’t know my breed?” Well, here is the $10,000 question–how many exhibitors or handlers, for that matter, have read every breed standard in their respective Group?

Imagine walking into an AKC All-Breed dog show knowing your dog was going to win the group. There are a few small catches: your dog can’t bite anyone, can’t be lame, and has to defeat four class dogs to win the breed, but you have the only special.
