As of standings through October 31, 2006, BIS BISS Ch. Xeralane's Facing Controversy "Faith" has pre-qualified for entry in the 2007 Westminster Kennel Club Show by being in the Top 5 Breed points.

"Faith" still holds onto #4 Shih Tzu in National All Breed ranking and #5 in Breed points without being shown for a total of three months this year.

Many dogs are shown regularly every week; however, this is proof that a quality dog can rank high shown at only a fraction of American shows. It is the quality of wins that counts in the end; not the quantity.
