So here's a new topic for the list :)
Does anyone know of a lab that a private individual can send in blood samples
to have blood work completed, such as brucellosis testing?
Thanks,-Bob

There is no factual data to support the statement "Handlers juding a f/m
reduces the entry at that futurity".  None.  Zero.  Period - end of story.
And certainly, a new rule in place for 2 years is not enough information to
truly utilize any data and analyze trends.

As far as Reno and West Coast Sites -  The Board and Gail are doing their
due diligence and researching sites.  Nobody has determined Reno as even a
viable site, so all the hoopla is a bit premature.   It was mentioned at
the board meeting that there was a nice event center there.   The board
told Gail "Hey - research it and see what you find out.  If it looks
possible, go do a site visit"   THAT IS ALL THAT WAS SAID ABOUT RENO.  So,
calm yourselves.. geesh.  ;-)

Handlers juding a f/m reduces the entry at that futurity

It actually brings down entries and revenue for the system. It was an
experiment that failed.

Also having a breeder judge in their own area brings down entries - they
need to judge where they
do not breed and sell their puppies to increase entries.  Clubs need to
think of this when
they select their judges.

It is almost impossible to fly a dog anywhere these days.  Airlines change
the plane sizes daily.
I dan take the same flight on Friday one week and Friday the next week and
have a totally
different sized plane.

Your Board is trying to find a west coast site that is affordable  - works
for the club.

Gail is working her butt off and these negative comments are not helpful.
She will be taking a crate
to Reno.  Thank you Gail for your hard work.  Very few people wotrk as
hard as she does.

NO SITE is going to be perfect for everyone.

And sites are still available for 2017 and are being researched

Please be patient

This is my personal opinion and not the opinion of the Board which comes
from Lana.

From: Linda Bankhead <lindabankhead44@xxxxxxxxx>

Did The BOD state WHY they made this decision in closed session?  They
blind sided you when Frank said they voted last night to eliminate handlers
from judging Fut/Mat.
You were quick on your feet when they used Jimmy as an  example.  Rightly
pointed out that he is a breeder judge.  When they switched to Scott; you
could have stated the facts but you were blind sided.

What is the point in having chairs if The BOD makes a decision in closed
session and never asks the chair for input?


"Closed sessions of the Board:
Matters dealing with personalities; special awards such as being placed on
the Roll of Honor; President's Citation Award; Honored Guest at National;
dedications; as well as disciplinary matters and other sensitive matters shall
be discussed at a closed session of the Board."

The regions cited were the Northeast (we’ve already heard from Scott) and
the Mid Atlantic which was Jimmy Moses.

First, Jim is no longer a handler, hasn’t been for a few years, second, he
bred/co-bred, owns/co-owns so many dogs in the eastern regions, too many
could not enter & show under him.  Unfortunately, not the best choice of
judge by the host club for that region.



The Southeast had a HUGE entry for Terry Hower (former handler) and the
two point shows there drew over 70 entries each.



The BOD forgot that in 2014, the LARGEST entries were for Art Sinclair in
the Midwest, Ben Bigornia in the Northeast and Jerry Guzman (same position
as Jimmy, former handler now judge) in the Mid Atlantic.  The Mid Pacific
entry for Mike Sherman wasn’t bad either.

What Fut lost entries due to a handler judging and why was this decision
made in a closed session?  The Fut Chair should have been involved in the
discussion. She could have informed them that Scott has only handled in The
NE 1 time in 40 years and George never handled in the region he judged.
Major decision the BOD made without asking the chair for facts and
information.

Jeff, there are nice event centers in many locations! Doesn't mean they
wouldbe good spots for folks getting German Shepherds there! Don't you think
there could be a problem with getting to the site if the locals are telling
you the site is NOT a good idea?   And I think it's a good thing that
severallisters are "up in arms" about going to Reno!.... We need to be
careful who we put on the board! Everything else is a smoke screen! Ed
