A couple of comments - I don't understand why people have to be so negative about a first year project - first year is first year and it sounds like it has potential. Most ideas start off as small and grow over time... Especially if the rules continue to be changed and fine tuned. I agree with Ann and think ALL juniors should be allowed to show in this Amatuer Fut... It is all about Amatuers, right? Nothing like kids getting their hands on great dogs and the dogs usually LOVE working with the kids. Since Juniors can't take $$$$ while showing, there shouldn't be problems. Finally, what about have "prospective" judges. I don't know what the requirement is for judges, but maybe you have new judges or prospective judges judging... Sort of a training grounds. JMHO..
