I think any dog that qualifies can run the National Championship. It's the qualifying that is the hard part. These events are endurance events. Big, strong dogs bred for enduring a 3 hour event of constant hard charging excel in these trials. There just haven't been, in the past, GSPs or Brittanys bred or trained for this type of event. I don't recall a GSP qualifying for Ames in the past but maybe so.
