At some point (heehee) AKC will have to adjust the numbers to reflect the entries. The 5 pt show is just missing in action, not gone. It will return, but with smaller numbers needed to get there. And then the economy will change and the numbers will go back up. Life is a cycle!

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!
