#2 Not all litters bred in the USA are being bred to the USA standard. They
register here because that is the easiest way to go.
#3 the folks that I speak too both American lines and German lines. Pets
1000.00 to 1,500.00 Show 2500 and up.
#4 some people are just stupid and believe that the mixes are healthier. It
is better they buy a mix because they are not bright enough to own a GSD
#5 The PC should do all that it can afford to do to promote the breed, as much
as their budget allows.
#8 If the hosting club can not host the Fut Mat along with their specialty
shows then there is little reason for the club to go out on the limb
financially to host the event. The only benefit the hosting club gets is
the possibility of a larger entry at their specialty shows. Availability of
show grounds also plays an important part. Oregon parks in the Portland Metro
cost 150.00 per day plus added insurance costs.
If you eliminate regions from the west coast you had better do the same thing
for the east cost if you don't want to host a civil war.
Try this for one year
Combine Regions 1,2,3
combine regions 4,5
Combine region 6, 7
Combine region 8,9
See where the bottom line is at the end of the year then base your decision on
the numbers.
You will loose entries but you also will be reducing the costs. In the long run
it may be more financially sound and keep the event alive.
Just my thoughts,
Terry

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Conflicts
Lee Brown threw out some really good questions. Thanks Lee for stirring our
minds. Here are some other thoughts on the subject.
1) The GSD is STILL way up there on the list of the highest number of litters
registered each
month by AKC. Which brings on question #2
2) If so many Shepherds are being bred as to place the breed in #2 or #3 slot
of the most
registered litters WHO IS BREEDING all these litters?
3) What are the prices people are paying for these pups?
4) If the breed is so popular why are we hearing that OUR breeders are having
difficulty
SELLING their litters?
4) Why are "trendy" "mixed" breeds bringing high dollars?
5) Should the PC do more to promote our breed. (The new Public
Relations Chair and Committee are doing a good job on "meet the breeds"
what else
should we be doing?
6) Can we reduce Regions and still give CA two Regions? (For Futurities)
7) Understand a new "FREE COMMITTEE" is formed to investigate ways to improve
participation in our Futurity/Maturity System. I know they will appreciate
your
input.
8) WE MUST AVOID CONFLICTS AT ALL COSTS. This past weekend, two Futurities on
the
same Weekend- and EASTER WEEKEND TO BOOT. I FIRMLY BELIEVE IT DID AFFECT
ENTRIES.
In CA there were 4 all breeds ANOTHER SPECIALTY SHOW, PLUS the Futurity in
conflict
this has just got to affect entries. As past Futurity Chair I found
Futurities on the same weekend when one was in WA state and one across
country in
New England did not suffer THAT much BUT THE SAME WEEKEND FOR THE SW AND
SE AND /OR GREAT LAKES AGAINST / MID-WEST or MIDATLANTIC AGAINST
NE DOES NOT GOOD ENTRIES MAKE.
Clubs bidding to host Futurities are trying, of course, to use dates that fit
in their AKC approved specialty show dates resulting in 3 shows - one
location. We surely need these Clubs to bid but maybe we need these clubs to
use a PC supported specialty show date instead of trying to "tie" the Futurity
Bid date to the already approved specialty show date.
Would that help?
Nancy
