An insightful post , Jeff. Thank You Carol In a message dated 5/10/2011 7:34:11 A.M.

Only because in the club and board, a couple of years could easily turn into several. Out of sight, out of mind. I also think the Top stud dogs/brood bitches should be calculated from shows, not futurities AND they should be tabulated using a formula which is based on percentage. Not just total #'s where throwing as many darts at the dart board as you can until you get the highest # is rewarded. Start recognizing and rewarding the smaller scale successful breeders who do it right with good quality, not quantity. When you base it on quantity it becomes highly based on financial means.
