Sometimes in Canada we have 6 all breed shows in 3 days and obedience trials with them, two shows a day for 3 days, as in some of the more remote areas. they can only get a limited entry of 350 dogs or less a show. This makes it viable to hold shows and some people who never get to a major center can put titles on in the one weekend if the dog is deserving. It works for us.

They have a futurity in the morning and a point show afterwards. If you think about it in purely financial terms...you save an entire days expenses in food and lodging. The beauty behind a 3 show weekend is getting 3 compatible Judges who will draw large entries. Where most clubs run into problems...the Judges are often apples...oranges...and prunes. Why clubs don't spend some time researching the compatibility factor is beyond me. You can go to InfoDog and research what a Judge has done in past shows with a few key strokes. No brainer sez I...again and again and again. 2 specialties in one day approved for 2007, opinions... Sequestering judges will take some coordinating. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
