Helen won more national titles than I did, and
at the time of her virtual retirement from tournament
competition she had won more
major open
championships than any other players except Howard Schenken and John Crawford.
To become a grand champion, a champion must earn 25 grand
championship points in breed; these must include
at least three
majors (3 to 5 point wins, based upon the number of dogs in
competition) under three different judges and
at least one point under a fourth judge, plus defeat
at least one other champion in
at least three shows.
