I am putting true money on the table. I will donate $10,000 (ten thousand dollars) to rescue if Carmen Battaglia or Nancy Harper can tell us one time Jeff Pyle EVER handled, watered, or fed, (covering all bases here lol) a dog for Joan Fox prior to her judging the SE Fut Mat in April of 2006. I am serious on the challenge and confident my bank account will not be depleted.

The GSDCA Futurities/Maturities are AKC *sanctioned* matches. Therefore, the judge of an AKC sanctioned match is required to follow *AKC* rules and guidlines in effect at the time the match took place. Here's the AKC link where you will find the 4-month rule stated clearly and concisely: http://www.akc.org/about/conflict/exhibitB.cfm Look under section III. Ineligible Dogs and you will see the following: "2. If a judge uses an agent, the agent is not to exhibit dogs under the judge for at least four months after working for you. This policy applies for breed competition, but it is recommended to avoid at all levels (Policy - Guidelines)." If my post is incorrect, please let met know.
