Thanks for the clarification, Carol, I stand corrected. I had one other thought - regions, when you are selecting judges, keep in mind that if your judge is an active exhibitor, his/her handler probably won't enter in that Futurity. That might be ok if their handler rarely shows in your area (i.e., west coast handler for east coast Futurity or vice versa).... otherwise it's a risk. I have now posted more today than all of last year, I think! LOL! Kim On 4/3/06, Scharo777@xxxxxxx <Scharo777@xxxxxxx> wrote: > > In a message dated 4/3/2006 8:42:35 A.M.
