So, for you guys who are actively involved in conformation, how many times have you wondered (or had someone else ask you) how many points your dog just won for taking a class win, or BOB? And, now that AKC offers a Grand Championship, anyone have any questions about how those GCh points are calculated.
What if I told you for $2.99 you can buy an app for either your Apple or Android device that will do all those calculations for you. All you have to do is fill in the number of dogs entered, the number of those who were class dogs and the number of dogs who were already specials. It also asks you to input the AKC region you're in since each region (there are 15 total) can calculate points differently. You can find your region by clicking on the following URL:
BTW:
Oregon & Washington is Division 8.
Montana & Idaho is Division 13.
California is Division 9
Well, you can! I have no affiliation, but it's called IShow Calculator and is available either from the I-Tunes app store or Google Play for your Android device. The Icon is a Purple & Gold BIS ribbon.
Sure makes it easy.
