I was disappointed to find out that my 13 year daughter Lindsey was unable = to compete in the Amateur Futurity since I handle dog for a fee. On one occ= asion she took a class winner back in for J.R. at a show (under protest). S= he=E2=80=99s a true amateur with inklings of wanting to possibly show dogs = in the future. =20 :o)=20 I spoke with Nancy Harper about it and she said that since this is all new = this year to expect some rule changes for next year. I thought that was abs= olutely great to hear and just wanted to throw it out on the list to see wh= at others thought about it. Do you all think that family members of profession handlers should be allow= ed to show in the Amateur Futurity? I=E2=80=99m curious to here what you all think.
