Congratulations to all the 2003 First & Foremost Point Winners

! Every year the magazine Front and Finish tallies up all the best of the best from the Open and Utility classes in Obedience. Your dog is awarded points not on ribbons won, but rather based on your score.

For the 2003 a huge number of kerries won points! I'm so impressed!

Here's the tally:

That's a lot of kerries qualifying in Open and Utility. We better watch out, or our secret will be public and kerries will be declaired the new "obedience breed", LOL.

Here's the way they figure the points:
