Well, it doesn't get too much better than beating a fellow Grand Champion, so I would have to imagine that's why.

Still, anytime "one" dog gets DOY there will always be other great dogs that don't get the title. This doesn't diminish the greatness of the other dogs in any way, it just means the editor of a magazine made a personal decision.
