You must be kidding Helen. Do you really think an AB club will spring the cost of a judge so they can come in and judge one breed. That breed might get an entry of 25 or 30. With judges fees an average of 350.00, airfare average of 350.00 to 400.00, you are already at apx 750.00 to 800.00 for that judge without motel, meals, airport parking. I don't see any clubs doing this. It is just not good business. I will certainly not do it. I try to make or at least lose as little as possible on each show for my club and this would definitely not be a good move. It is just not cost effective so I guess you and I will have to agree to disagree on this one. Be kind and remove my email address before you forward.
