Has anyone ever shown or been to the International shows that are held here in the US? I am totally uniformed on this topic and what to get some first hand information.

I don't think I have. The biggest show I'm been is in Houston TX. It was pretty large but not sure if it was International

I have not..and I do not recall any of my friends saying they have..I wonder where they are located?
I talked with a breeder who had an International champion...I asked what country and she said Kansas. The term "International" was a KC she said.

Don't quote me cause I get things cornfused. The handler that I am using has been talking about taking Buster ( the guy we are showing) and Dixie to the International Shows. This is a show organization that you used to have to go to Mexico (casue it was the closest) or elsewhere over seas to put the title of International Champion on your dog. The dogs do not compete against each other except for BOB. The dogs in each class are gave a certain number of points and if you get that number of points that you need over the four shows (They have four shows scheduled over the time period) you are awarded a International Title. I am told that this is how it is done in Germany, France, Spain, ETC.

From what I gather they are now holding them about four times a year here in the states. I just didn't know if anyone had gone this route.

They sound interesting..let me know if you find out where they are being held please.
I did go to a States KC show a few years back..I went with another club member. We both got a point..on our male and female. They were the only two entered and they were judged against the standard..so it did not matter if only one was entered.
A couple other breeders laughed at us..didn't take it for real, since it was not AKC...I'll take any win I can get!! LOL
