There are still 5 pt shows, it just depends on where you are..but, to answer
your question, it is a combination of many things. Handlers are expensive and,
like it or not, fair or not, handlers are the ones who win the points much of
the time. They have experience, it is their job and they have a selection of
fine animals, so I have no axe to grind. Travel is very expensive too, and
many people have to either stay in their own backyard, or really limit the
number of distance shows that they go to. A lot of people are tired of what
they perceive are 'politics' in the dog show hobby. I mean, many think, "who
needs it? Certainly the dog doesn't give a rip", Also, dog clubs, including
the parent club, need to market themselves and woo the newcomer into the sport.
You won't get club workers, fanciers, supporters and trophy donations from
people that you snub, make to feel inferior, or make them feel bad about their
dog if it is not up to 'your' qulaifications. So, these ar
e just a
few of the things that have reduced the number of solid 5 point shows. There
are probably a billion more. Cynthia

When I got my 1st Shepherd, Conformation and Obedience
were HUGE!! Shepherds as far as the eyes could see! Is
the AKC responsible for this? The Economy? It was nice
to see!
