I understand that but should it be like that? Because a dog is better than the other 4 or 5 dogs he has competed against all summer, he is given a title of Grand Champion. That is about what happens in my area When I was a kid and first got into coonhunting, I thought a Grand Nite Champion was the best of the best and some of them are dang good hounds I'm sure. But when I got older, I went to a couple hunts and realized that a bunch of them high powered hounds just had a good handler willing to bend the rules and wasn't any better than what's in my kennel. Or they hauled the dog to hunts for 4 years, lucked up and got a title. IMO a dog should have to.beat a significant number of dogs to earn such a title as Grand Champion.
