It is my understanding that only AKC judges are allowed to observe other judges
from inside the AKC ring.  For example, if I were approved to judge GSD's and
wanted to add shelties, then I could observe a sheltie judge from inside the
ring.  But, if I were not approved to judge any breeds, than I wouldn't be
allowed inside the ring to observe.  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I do think we could set up a ringside mentoring program for prospective futurity
judges where a breeder/judge would sit with a prospective judge and comment on
ring procedure.  A couple of sessions like that could substitute for a
specialty match assignment (or two).
