When I look in my catalogue and see the entries in other breeds and hear people (and I am pleased for them) full of glee that they have won the CC from an entry of 15.
I wonder if it would be a good idea to have another set of CCs on offer if, say the breed had an entry of more than 300 at a show. This would probably mean only club shows and general shows with two judges. NOT to be offered before the closing dates but when entries have closed.
So instead of a CC and RCC you would have 2 CCs and one RCC the 4 CC winners competing for best of sex and BOB. The CC only states that the dog is of high enough merit to be a CH it doesnt say anything about being the best dog or bitch, sometimes judges say the CC could have gone to three or four of the exhibits.
I personally LIKE it being hard to get a CC but feel the odds for some breeds, ie Goldens and of course Whippets are pretty long and many excellent dogs are being missed.
Anyway your thoughts please
