Max Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 This question may have been asked before, but I'm asking as I'm confused So the dog who claims the points for breed, can be the only one there and not beat anything and take the points of dogs that are entered and not shown?? Am I reading this right ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aziah Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 (edited) This question may have been asked before, but I'm asking as I'm confused So the dog who claims the points for breed, can be the only one there and not beat anything and take the points of dogs that are entered and not shown?? Am I reading this right ?? Correct... Troy would have to rely on show secretaries reporting back with absentee numbers for every show, that's not going to happen and the amount of work it would generate for Troy and workers would be astronomical.

Diva Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Wow, I didn't know that. So someone desperate to win a pointscore could enter a lot of their own dogs in a small show, and only turn up with the one they want to win? Explains beautifully something odd I saw happen late last year that had me puzzled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 MMMM that makes it hard then.. That would kinda be like dogs getting the CC points for dogs entered and not shown.. Don't think I would bother.. Does make that dog look like a big winner though.. Yes Diva seen that just the other day.. I wouldn't really feel like I had won anything though.. SO maybe just the dog that wins with out beating anything, but has a lot of absentee in the breed is not the big winner after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aziah Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 That's very possible Max... I enter the pointscore for me, it's fun to enter results as we go and see how we end up Other people enter pointscores because for them, it's the be all and end all and they show week in/out and just HAVE to win.

Firestone Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Harder to now for the smaller states in the rising star category as the shows that have over 750 exhibits get double points. With regard the other categories its interesting to note that some TRY to claim points that they were not entitled to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 How does one claim points they are not entitled to.. You can only get points for dogs presented and beaten ?? Or am I missing something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsk Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I enter the pointscore as basically to me its just a competition between my dogs and there siblings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL i was wondering. Most of our shows wouldn't get those numbers for an all breeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weizone Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 It is just one of the minor hiccups in this type of competition, people claim awards that their dogs DIDN"T win, but then it up to someone else to prove that they didn't. Like firestone said we only do the pointscore for our own benefit and we are pleased with how our lovely team is performing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 If the dog in question did not get a cc or class in group, would that not be easy to prove ? It should be all documented.. For the record I only enter the rising star not the breed or group.. So just trying to find out how these things work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 I know I would only be entering for fun.. I rarely win LOL But its a fun weekend out.. The only thing that saddens me is when I do finally place or win people that win all the time can't except it and can be quite rude and make uncalled for comments.. I didn't make the decision the judge did lol.. At the end of the day I come how with my dogs and I love them all the same.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyTansy Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Max with that attitude it sounds as if you can take or leave the pointscore anyway. enter it for the fun of seeing how many points your dog is on and that is all. it is hard to compare at times anyway because all the states have such a varience in numbers.

Max Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 What I mean is I have a young dog one that has just returned form injury (she did get breed Tue, which was nice) and a new dog that at the moment is outta shape and coat.. I have a 10 month old Daughter and I'm no spring chicken LOL.. So I have pretty much just started out again in the show ring after the death of my husband 5 years ago and a baby, my dogs that would have done well in the point score are old or retired.. I feel like a newbie again and the point score is sort of new with all the changes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
