I have never understood the desperate need for attention that some dog owners/breeders have that propels them to make crazy claims and invent titles for wins their dogs have.
Winning a Best in Field is WAY FUN, it is bragging rights, usually expressed as "wahoo my Greyhound Bubba won Best in Field at the Way Out Gangsters field trial in Podunk Alabama". That isn't enough for some people though, their dogs have to win Best in Fields with crowds of people giving only their dog ( not the other 6 that ran) standing ovations much like the Coliseum in the movie Gladiator if they are to be believed.
Then there are the dogs that people label things like BPISS. That is bee piss to me. So instead of saying their dog won Best Puppy at the Podunk Specialty show it is now a bee piss dog. I laugh out loud everytime I read that one.
Of course the best are the folks that look for some obscure thing their dog may have done on the way to its title that no one else did. Here's a new favorite of mine. Such and such titled "Mud Fence Ugly" is the only Moldavian rat hound to have finished this title undefeated, now what should go in small print and doesn't is that Mud Fence's owner dragged out their own old dogs that didn't run, their friends REALLY old dogs that ran well before their heads turned gray and all such in order to make points in the area they ran in because they couldn't travel anywhere else to do it. Mud Fence's owner previously ranted about dogs that traveled all over the country defeating dogs from all over the country being "dragged" around to events. Look who's dragging now. Karma is a bitch and Mud Fence's owner is reaping all the benefits due to them now. I wouldn't wish it on anyone though but I didn't wish that IQ on them so it isn't my fault.
