The SouthPacific Futurity was in California for the last two years. Not the people in Arizona get their turn. Do the math. I love our Arizona friends, but are there more breeders in Arizona or California. If five people come to Arizona, that is a suported show. If ten or more don't go from California, they are ignoring Arizona. I believe this is called "fuzzy" math, BUT if five people don't go from AZ for two years, (because the futurity was in Cal for two years since it was in AZ) that equals 10 people not going from Cal one year. But you might up 15 from Texas, & New Mexico, since AZ is closer than CAL, because we can't let distances stop us from showing. Carol **************It's Tax Time!
