If a dog loses a show after winning 5, I don't believe anyone thinks that dog didn't win the needed 5 to gain the title. Well, let me rephrase that a little. I don't believe that anyone with half a brain would take that stance. But if the criteria that was set forth is that a dog has to remain undefeated to keep the title of Grand Champion, then that's probably the criteria that most people are going to utilize.

If memory serves me correctly, didn't the new version of YF&M allow a dog to keep the Grand Champion title if the dog lost game? I want to say I'm right about that, but that was so many years ago that I'm not sure if that's correct or not. It would almost be easier just to do away with such titles. Just label the dog in accordance to how many won and how many he lost.
