Are you referring to BIS and GRP1 columns? If so, BIS stands for Best In Show, which is the best dog overall at the show against every breed. Dogs are broken down into breeds, then into groups. The Best of Breed, BOB, will compete against the other dogs in their group. Akita's are part of the Working Group. We compete against such breeds as Dobermans, Boxers and Great Danes. I believe their are 30 breeds in the Working Group. Points are awarded to the dogs in the top four placements in the Working Group. Group 1, GRP1, means that dog took first in Group. Then Group 2, Group 3 and Group 4
Kami has three Group wins. Two are Group 4 and one is a Group 2. She is still a puppy, so we are hoping this is an indication that she will just do better as she matures.

No sir. I'm a slow learning and what I wrote there just about maxed out my second hand knowledge. I actually posted a question on FB yesterday asking what the difference was between All Breed Standings and Breed Standings. They when I got the first reply, I still didn't get it. Finally after several friends posted, it clicked in my brain, and now I get it. I can tell the difference between a show quality Akita and a pet quality one, but I honestly don't know what makes Kami so much better looking then all the others. Friends in the show world gush over her. People have not shown up to shows after they find out she is there, and even our friends are now talking about not entering their dogs in any of the shows she is in because they don't have a chance. Even the judges come see her after a show and bring other judges to see her. People take selfies with her, and want to get on our waiting list for puppies. I don't get it.
