          Lee, I agree.  We can pay only so much.  We pay the application       
   fee. That is after the fees for the seminars , the nationals , the          
 institutes, the travel, on and on.  I did not really mind these expenses,     
     but now I question that it is worth it ., No , in no way is it worth it.   
       I have judged for expenses or less for years because of my love         
 for the breed and the sport.  It seems that our sport has gone          back 
to only the elite.  I wonder if it may be the demise of the AKC.

I think this will have to be an individual decision. In your case you say  
you will limit to 2 shows a year but a look at the AKC website you judged a 
show  2 years ago and then before that it was 4 years ago. The question then 
becomes  for judging 2 shows in 4 years does it become worth the price AKC 
wants?
 
In my case I do over 30 breeds so my cost per year will be well over  
$200.00. I am going to have to decide if it is worth it for me. Since the  
economy tanked and I don't do 2 full groups I am not sure it will be worth it  
for 
me to continue either.  Will have to do some soul searching.  Will  have to 
do the same thing when it comes to paying up $66.00 to renew in the  GSDCA 
, is it worth it? What do I get from them but a lot of controversy and a  
very small magazine ( not a swipe at Susan she can only print what is given to 
 her in articles and ads).
 
Be kind and remove my email address before you  forward.

I  decided years ago, while I still work, I would only judge two shows a   
year. When I get the bill, I may decide to surrender my  licens.
