RE: National Field Champions (Retrievers) since 1941.
bkitchen0406 has a point. say you took the top ten dogs from the following breeds:
lab, golden, ches, spanish water dog, portuguese water dog, standard poodle, nova scotia, curly coat, flat coat, and why not through in about four of the versitile breeds and four different spaniel breeds. . . (forgive me if i've overlooked anyones personal favorite)
this would give you 170 dogs.
losthwy, you are making it sound like the labs would take the top ten spots.
