As I stated yesterday, if the handler judge goes far and away from their usual
show area, there is no impact.
Look at the 2014 entries for Art Sinclair in the Midwest, Ben Bigornia in the
Northeast and Jerry Guzman (former handler, now a judge) in the Mid Atlantic.
HUGE entries
I spoke to Scott before we submitted his name for the assignment. He assured
me that he does NOT travel that far north. As he stated Sunday on the FB page,
there was a 4 day all breed 6 hours from his house that weekend with majors all
4 days. Why would he want to drive 3 to 4 days to go to the NE?
And in keeping with this theme, look at the entry Bill Basu had in the
Southwest this year.
Nearly as many entered in Maturity as were Futurity. In 16 years I have NEVER
seen that happen.
BTW, we did compile an extensive analysis of each region for 2013, 2014 & 2015
for the Board looking at not only total shown, but how many were double
entered, how many double entered animals were shown and what regions the
exhibitors came from. Hopefully, once the BOD has finished going through the
pile of reports and analysis we sent, they will post everything on the GSDCA
members page, behind the wall, as they said they would do. Then everyone can
see what was submitted.
MOST of the absentees in EVERY region are puppies that are entered because they
HAVE to be, to be shown in Maturity. An average 50% absentee rate is NOT new.
It's been going on for a very long time.

Just for Jollies I went back 7 years and looked at the entries at just one of
the regions (NE) to not just see the numbers entered but the percent that
actually participated. Here is what I got:
2015: 87 entered, 49 shown - 56% shown
2014: 131 entered, 66 shown - 50.4% shown
2013: 123 entered, 54 shown - 43.9% shown
2012: 83 entered, 44 shown - 53% shown
2011: 107 entered, 60 shown - 56% shown
2010: 100 entered, 58 shown - 58% shown
2009; 95 entered, 60 shown - 63.2% shown
As you can see numbers go up and down, but the percent that are shown doesn't
seem to be much different, in fact it looks like Mr Yergin had the same percent
participating as breeder judges from 4 years ago. I just don't think one should
be looking at the total entry numbers alone. Just one person's opinion.
