I know the # of dogs of each breed that have won at least 1 Dog Show in a particular year. I can't tell ya if they won more than one show. Probably some won 2 (or more) in a year. You've mentioned two breeds that seem to vary quite a bit in the number of dogs winning all breed dog shows. in 2009, 3 different Rotts won Dog Shows. So far, in 2010, 9 different Rotts have won dog shows. In 2009, 7 Labs won dog shows. So far, in 2010, only 1 Lab has won a dog show (whether he won more than 1, I don't know.)

I think what you're referring to is the 2 major type dog shows that are held. The 2nd biggest dog show in the country is the Eukauba National. Here are the last 4 best of show winners:
Scottish Terrier
Pointer
Sealyham Terrier
English Springer Spaniel
Unfortunately, it's the medium sized dogs of limited popularity that seem (to me) to be over represented. The terrier, pointer, slightly obscure spaniel is typical of what they seem to pick. Far as the "real dog" types that you're talking about, I'd say the Doberman has been well represented, and the others are under represented. I'm talking about the 2 biggest dog shows in the country. Each week there seems to be 4-8 mixed breed dog shows, and they seem to have a good mix of winners. I've had my fill of the less popular terrier, spaniel, pointer types winning the 2 best shows. It's tired.
