I agree with you Ann. There are a number of you out there that have bred Gr. Victors and Gr. Vritrixs that cannot judge Fut/Mat simply because there are no longer matches held for you to "qualify". I think this is really wrong. something needs to be done about this.

I would like to see more good breeders eligible to judge futurities. I can think of a lot of long time successful breeders that would do an awesome job, but for one reason or another they aren't eligible. Getting enough matches is really tough in many cases. It is harder to be qualified to judge a futurity then it is to get an AKC license.

We should be having the top breeders and handlers judging these shows . Requiring the judges to have all these qualifications does not make for good judging. > Canda is not alone in their problems for futurities= all you have to do is sit back and watch what going on at ours and you will see the games that are being played- > > sally > > > ============================================================================ > POST is Copyrighted 2005.
