None of them. I really don't care who's "at the top" since that's mostly related to $$$ to hire the right handler and send your dog all over the country.
i did a search for the top labradors, and i came up witht he list to the eukanuba nationals. not sure if this is right but here is the link.

who cares???
And why would anyone have " a special smile for Slim"?
Is he somehow more special than Nick? or any of the others???? Congrats to all who have the money to drop on something so ephemeral.
Am I sensing a bit of jealousy here?
Shameful you feel the need to put a damper on someone elses fun!
Who cares is right! And if you don't care, why bother voicing it here????
Campaigning is one way to do it, the other is a few nice wins at specialties. The year our girl had three nice wins at large specialties we were up there on the scoreboard all year. No handler and no more money than usual.
There are All-Breed Standings which includes Best of Breed, Group and Best in Show wins and there is also Breed Standings which includes Best of Breed & Specialty Best in Show wins. If I was really interested in the Top 10 I prefer Breed Standings.
