Well, after I said AKC'd eliminated Novice, I checked...and I don't think
they did eliminate it. I know there was a big push to get rid of it, as
it is very much under-utilized--but they seem to have kept it and just added
this AO class. As for limiting the number of dogs a handler can show, I'm
certain that is not and never will be of concern to anyone at the AKC.
