know what it's like to compete against dogs with 29 & 25 CCs. These two dogs have dominated my breed over the last few years giving little opportunity to others to get a CC never mind being made up.

Having exhibited in Netherlands I think we should give the champions class a trial period..

To have a Champions Class would encourage more good quality dogs to be entered in shows and not be prevented from becoming Champions by the owners who want to get as many CCs as are on offer for their breed. The situation is worse when a breed has fewer CCs available. This is an obvious solution to halt the increasing decline in Championship show entries. I started showing 41 years ago and am seriously thinking of giving it all up. I am sure that many others feel the same.

we have all seen the runaway dog and bitch, often very much deserved in most cases but, often a worthy champion is denied because some judges are not morally strong enough to break the run if a better specimen is put in front of them

As long as the bob/cc is then not always automatically won by only dogs from the champion classes! Which is what I worry could happen instead of encouraging more people to enter, it could kill entries altogether if only winners of the champions classes end up getting the top honours every time.

Great idea in principle, however coming from an FCI show world I do think that the Champions should only be able to compete for BOB and not the CC. Some judges only look at the CH class when awarding top honours so this causes the lesser classes to overlooked just my opinion. This works in in some European Countries.

I hugely agree that something has to be done to improve the entries pf particularly the trimmed terrier breeds in the uk. Entries are particularly low in these classes, and good dogs that are up against champions just arnt getting a look in, which is very off putting considering all the time money and effort being put in by exhibitors. I. genuinely do feel having a champions class in the uk would improve entries and give new comers to the breed a better chance of getting there dogs made up, when they otherwise wouldnt.
