How about we have three winners for the Futurity Maturity: Junior Futurity Winner- Junior+Teenage Senior Futurity Winner- Intermidiate+Senior Maturity Winner Also at the National have these classes. This might encourage competion at the Junior Futurity level as many people are hesistant to bring out puppies against more mature Intermediate and Senior dogs. The more dogs we have the more chance for more handlers(juniors especially to participate and get experience) and it seems to me more people would encourage Junior handlers to handle puppies etc. Just a thought.
