I once saw a male win his third and at the show his exploits were that he won his first two on the same night. Two shows set at 38lbs. each. The first set go and it is over rather quickly. One of the two participants of the next show does not show (and this is where I see a calamity of errors) and the winner of #1 offers his up to make the second show happen. The sole reason is to so the host does not have to refund money from the 'gate'. The winner then goes a little over an hour on the 2nd show and wins again.

His owners logic was that it was late in the year and he had brought the dog out on the cheap for a game check so if it worked it would 'count'. He blew through the first one so he did not really see what he was looking for, although it was a win. He was going to break even money wise either way with the 2nd show so it would basically been two dogging his dog. He picked up #2 during his actual game check because #1 was a wipe out.

He went two hours for his third the following winter when I saw him. I have never heard mention of this happening til this post so I did not give it much thought. I actually left it as, "it is your story, tell it like you want". I did not see it happen just repeating what I was told. (my part of the calamity of errors).

I guess it could happen. But I would think there would have to be a serious lack of competition in the first one. I could not see the first one being a grueling test of character and then there being enough left for the second , especially if the second is competition for the winner of the first. The first would have to be a rather easy venture in order for the second to be possible.

But for me it would be a bad idea all the way around. EWO
