I'm not quite sure why there is a problem with this program.

AKC is not holding a gun to anyone's head, making them participate.

You can finish a championship (as usual) and then continue on if

you like.  What is wrong with that.  It just might be incentive for

some folks to "special" some really nice animals.

As for those with money, they are specialing dogs anyway, for 

National ranking.  Nothing will change that much except for more 

paper to file away.

 

Personally, I would like to see some type of program that promoted 

Veterans.....Veteran championships.  It's an area that gets very little

attention.  Longevity and health should be very important aspects of

breeding.
