doesn't matter Sally,,,,i contacted all my judges and they didn't even send in their contracts therefore we are looking for someone eligible to be alternates for the SE. I have tried my very hardest to stay away from AKC judges,,,,,,,not because they aren't good enough, but because everyone shows to them all year. They have already been out there judging most of their entry at the AKC shows they have judged. You lose entries who haven't won under them at those shows. But quite frankly it has left us with little to no choices for alternates because of the match requirements everyone seems to lack,,,,,,,even if they have bred umpteen champions and been in the breed for years.............. I feel very fortunate that our judge for the SE futurity is a very respected previous AKC judge who hasn't judged in quite some time, so people can take a chance and enter not feeling he has already defeated their entry at a show somewhere else.
