e’re reporting the BIS results of 119 all-breed shows
held over four weekends
spanning the last weekend of September and the third weekend of October.
It would have been 126 shows if not for
the cancellation of seven events due
to extreme weather conditions. There
were no shows with entries in excess
of 2,000 dogs, though a couple shows
came close. We count 41 shows with an
entry of fewer than 500 dogs — that’s
about one-third of all shows held during
this time period. With a total of just over
82,000 entries, the average of the shows
listed here was less than 700 dogs.
On the weekend starting at the end
of September, there were 30 events
held in 14 cities. With 21,755 entries involved, the average entry per show was
725 dogs. Only three events attracted
more than 1,000 entries.
The first weekend of October was the
busiest and would have been even more
so if not for the cancellation of all five
shows of a cluster in Virginia due to bad
weather. As it was, the 30 events held in
13 venues drew 22,972 dog entries, making for an average of 766 dogs per show.
The biggest show held on the weekend
was the Saturday event in Romulus,
N.Y., with another sizeable show held
in Monroe, Mich., on the same day. The
six events involved at those locations
were the only ones attracting more than
1,000 dogs on this weekend.
The second weekend in October involved 25 shows at 12 sites, and would
have been 27, but two events in Florida
were canceled because of Hurricane

Matthew. The 16,500 or so dog entries
resulted in an average of about 660
dogs per show. A great many very small
events brought the average down for
the weekend, despite the involvement
of the largest show in this report, the
Hatboro event in Pennsylvania, with
1,916 dogs entered. The two shows
bracketing that one also drew good
entries, made up largely of Terriers, as
these shows preceded the great Montgomery Terrier event on the Sunday.
Our report concludes with 34 events
held in 14 states over the third weekend in October. With well over 20,000
entries involved, the average was just
over 600 dogs per show.
We note a number of new names listed among the BIS winners, as well as
some breeds that are rarely seen standing alone at the end of the day, while
of course our top-ranked dogs are continuing their successes as well.
