It was hard for me not to give her the title, quite frankly. She worked harder that year than anyone else ...Originally Posted by Black Hand

But she got the 2nd spot in both awards, DOY and GDOY, which is something no other dog did.

I dont know the ped on the dog Grip just whipped but his name was Home Boy a 2xw
At this stage of his career, facing a 2xW is almost a no-win situation.
Many times a multi-winner can "grow old" overnight, while the 2xW may be comparatively fresh and undamaged. Thus a 2xW might be a more dangerous opponent, actually, than facing another multi-winner ... especially if he's a good one ... because the multi-winner's best days are often far behind him. So (though it may not look that way 'on paper') facing a 2xW can be risky.
But then, if the Grand Champion wins, and puts the 2xW away, people have the tendency to think, "Oh, he 'only' beat a 2xW," after it's all said and done.
I don't think, if I had a Grand Champion (especially one that made DOY in one mag, and was on everybody's list of Runners-Up), that I would face anything less than a Champion at that point, truth to tell. It is a greater risk to the dog's reputation, if he loses, with no real payoff or enhancement to that reputation, if he wins.
The only real good about such a win, other than the money won, is the dog is now a 6xW, which is a fine accomplishment.
But it is almost anticlimactic too.
