Message:: [QUOTE="Kasia, post: 1342390, member: 31533"]Yes, she will! On Friday, at the Specialty Show, she got Select for female dog which is an honor. There were like 37 dogs (and girl dogs) or so competing and what that means is one animal got Best of Breed, the best of the opposite sex to that animal got Best of Opposite (for Champion dogs), then there Best of Winners (for the non-champion classes), and then the judge was able to select one or more quality animals that needed recognition in being a really good specimen of the breed for Grand Champion Points, and he picked Hailey for being the best of the rest in the female dogs competing that day. Really cool honor, nothing at all like "being second". Sometimes it all comes down to either handling or what "typiness" the animal is showing. Some breeds have two or three distinct or not so distinct "types" and if a judge prefers one type over another as what their vision of the animal should be, then if your animal is not that type, it probably won't be chosen as the best that day. Each event is different. Here's two pics of my Hailey being shown by an associate handler (the regular handler was showing and winning with a golden retriever at the same time).[ATTACH]154632.vB[/ATTACH]  [ATTACH]154633.vB[/ATTACH] But on to coins....I just got some new "daylight" light bulbs, and they are show truer colors so I took a couple more pics of this Franklin.[/QUOTE]
