We retired Kizzy from the show ring with 17 points towards the 15 needed for her AKC championship. Even though she has more than the necessary point count, she lacked one more major win (a win of 3-5 points) in order to earn her championship. She was the “queen of major reserves”, having went reserve to multiple major wins.
Don’t know what that dog show jargon means, but curious? Check out AKC’s Beginners’ Guide To Dog Shows and/or Counting Points at a Dog Show.
