Second Point for Gibson!

I got a letter from the AKC last week, stating that the dog that was Winners Dog on February 1 has been "disallowed" and that Gibson had been moved up from Reserve to Winners. In checking the web, Gibson now has 2 points! But how? The only entries were Gibson and the now disallowed dog, who had earned the point by placing ahead of Gibson. A call to the AKC was in order, but I still don't understand the reasoning. The rep said the dog was disallowed after earning the point, so any points earned go to the Reserve Winners Dog, even though the reserve and the dog defeated were one and the same. Apparently, disallowed is not the same thing as disqualified, which makes the difference in getting that point. Regardless, Ellen and I don't want to take any chances with Gibson's championship and will have him earn 16 points instead of 15, just to be on the safe side!
