In order to win an AKC Championship the dog must earn 15 points. There is a complex point scale, but basically the dog must win a number of times at shows. The hard part is that 2 of the wins must be "major wins," and there just aren't enough dogs entered in most shows to qualify them as "major." After about a year of trying to get a major win Oisin got one today at the Monroe (MI) Kennel Club show.
Thanks go to the other exhibitors who dragged themselves and their dogs to the show at 8 am (in 36 degree weather) to help make a major. Now he just needs one more to get his Championship. Yea, Oisin !
