I am violently in favor of having 2 shows in one day. First the costs involved
drop for everyone involved. Handlers only have to groom once for 2 shows,
better for the dogs? and if the judges are of the same general opinion, the
entries should be better. As for the limit on night time shows, let's see
about that. It might just prove to be a good number, and it might not. But
Sunday night shows will likely be the smallest entry, and the highest pulled,
so that working folk can go to work on Monday.
But if I understand correctly, a club must hold only one of its shows each
day, if there are 2 clubs, so if clubs share the burden, it should be a win win
win situation, for at least WD and WB and BOB!!!
I think this is a great way to increase entry and reduce costs.

Hi listers,
I am sure most of you are aware that AKC will approve two specialty shows to
be held on the same day starting in 2007. Want opinions on how exhibitors,
handlers feel about holding one show in the morning then another show in the
afternoon. We have the futurity in April of 2007 and are thinking of having a
Friday afternoon show, Saturday morning show then a Saturday afternoon show.
The
futurity will be held on Sunday. Would this be to much for one weekend? Would
it hurt or help the entries? You may send private but then some on the list
may also be interested in how others feel about this new approval from AKC.
AKC is also putting in effect that night time specialties will be limited to
50 entries in 2007. I spoke with Robin Stansell in Raleigh this weekend and
this has passed and will take effect in 2007. Some friends of mine called AKC
to see if there was any possibility of raising that limit to at least 75. They
were told that the parent clubs of the various breeds would need to complain
to AKC that the 50 limit is to low. AKCs position from talking to Robin
Stansell is that if you get more than 50 then you should be able to hold your
show
without the help of the AB shows. They feel if you have an entry of less than
50
then you cannot afford to have a stand alone specialty but if you have more
than you should be able to afford it.
