Due to an AKC rule modification some of the Amateur judges have had to withdraw from their assignments. The regions impacted are: Mid-West, South West, South Pacific & Mid Pacific Theresa Royer will now be judging the Amateur event in the Mid Pacific. The executive Committee gave the Futurity Committee permission to allow clubs without judges to use the new Amateur class system. However, since the GSDCA board voted to start the new Amateur classes in 2015, the Executive Committee last night reversed their decision and we are unable to offer the Amateur Class option this year. Each region will hold both a Regular Futurity and an Amateur Futurity as originally planned. The host clubs in each impacted region will be looking for new judges for the Amateur event. Anyone that meets the criteria (email Kathy or myself for information) and would be interested in judging, is encouraged to contact the Regional chairmen to volunteer. As the new judges are determined, we will send updates and post the names on the 2014 Futurity show page of the GSDCA.org site. We thank you all for your support of the GSDCA Futurity system and hope everyone that participates will have a great time at the Futurity/Maturity events this year.
