The term LE refers to those breeds whose
entries at conformation shows fall below a threshold of 3,500 dogs in competition from the previous year's events.
Later this month, that puppy will turn nine months old, and we're spending the weekend
at a conformation show in Tennessee, where literally hundreds of dog owners will gather to prep their pups and parade them around the ring.
And, when he's
not at conformation shows, this fun - loving pup competes in obedience and rally where he's earned several titles.
The LE list serves as a tool that signals the low frequency of
entries at conformation shows, the potential size of a breed club and the estimated number of exhibitors and breeders.
