. I think that shows that although there are a lot of very dedicated and knowledgable breeders out there, the requirements for them to do a futurity are too hard . The board has been doing a great job listening to its membership. Maybe they can look at changing these requirements in a future board meeting JMO Ann www.edangsd.com I think Ann is correct...If we change the match requirements we open a door for a lot of great breeders...(I always feel that Fut/Mat winners follow the AKC judge that put them up around the country and this limits the entry ...and boy we don't need that!)
