Re: Could a German shorthaired pointer make it to Ames?
This will make a few happy im sure. The lack of knowledge on this forum is unreal. Lack of knowledge isn't a bad thing, but when the lack of knowledge doesn't understand that they have a lack of said knowledge, thats when I can't handle it. I will no longer be posting on this board. Good luck to all...

My biggest Gripe is that any dog can run in these events and earn points towards FC/AFC. These stakes should be closed to all dogs that are not FC/AFC. If your dog is a FC he can only run in the Open Grand event. If your dog is an AFC then he can only run in the Grand Amatuer event. This will elimi...
