I agree. Changes are always for the purpose of improvement. But when making
changes we always have to
consider all the possible end results.
I love that you can enter as many Futurities as you want. A GREAT decision!
That was brought up on the Board
when I first asked that we be allowed to enter TWO Futurities. TWO were
approved.....more failed at that time.
I totally understand being able to enter all the Futurities.....but not sure
about the same dog possibly winning the
same class over and over if an owner chose to do that. I honestly doubt MOST
owners would do that........<G>
Just asking a question to clarify ........ definitely NOT
condemning..........<G>

There are reasons not to embrace some changes but I believe there are more
reasons TO embrace them or at least give them a chance.
We have to come up with ideas and implement them. Some will work. Some won't.
Let's give these and chance and see.

Does this mean a dog or bitch can win the same class in SEVERAL
Futurities......until or unless they win
a Reserve or Best in F. or Maturity .....or Best Opposite F. or Maturity?
Example.....one male can win Jr. Dog class in four different Futurities....just
not the big wins?? Or up
UNTIL it does win one of the big wins?

[ SHOWGSD-L ] 2017 Futurity/Maturity Updates
2017 Futurity/Maturity Updates!
The GSDCA Board approved three major changes to the Futurity/Maturity shows for
2017.
* Staggered closing dates. Entries for each region will close
approximately three weeks prior to the show weekend.
* Dogs/bitches may be entered and shown in as many regions as desired
UNTIL they win Best In,
Best Opposite or Reserve.
* Show Secretary services will be done by Foy Trent Dog Shows.
REMINDER: For entry into in the Futurity/Maturity shows, at least one owner
must be a member of the GSDCA. Be sure you have that person's GSDCA member
number as it will be needed for the entry form this year.
The official premium will be out soon, but in the mean time I will copy and
paste info on show dates, closing dates, judges etc. to an additional post to
the list. We are also in the process of getting the info for the GSDCA website
streamlined and updated, so please be patient!
For list members who are new to conformation and or the GSDCA, a post with a
simplified explanation of the Futurity/Maturity system is on the way! If you
have any specific questions please feel free to email futurityinfo@xxxxxxxxx
Thanks and Happy New Year!
