First many thanks to Amy for her hard work, it has been a pleasure to work
with her through this transition period.
It takes time and astute planning to initiate changes in any given system.
Nothing remains stationery forever - as the economy ebbs and flows, as
breeders, clubs and shows come and go so we must adjust to those changes. We
must be flexible enough to be willing to take a hard look at alternatives.
Change can also cause a little anxiety along the way. We are making
progress and I am sure, under Amy's leadership, and assistance from her
hard working committee that we will continue to be innovative. Remember
each rule change, addition, or deletion must first be brought to the Board
for approval. The Board will and should want to know "how will this change
be managed, is it beneficial? " The Board is responsible for overseeing
what is best for our breed and our members. Over the last few years the
following changes have been made;.
*Reducing the number of specialty matches required to qualify for judging a
Futurity to give
us more breeders for judges
*Reducing the number of specialty matches with replacement of additional
champions to give
us more breeders for judges
*Restricting a selected Futurity judge from judging in the Region of that
Futurity for a period
of 5 months so as not to affect the regional entry.
* The Amateur Futurity - in the 3rd year of an approved 3 year trial period.
The effectiveness
of this venue is difficult to determine as all Regions did not hold the
venue.
(it has brought in 5 new young handlers, still needs fine tuning)
* Changes to the amateur Futurity - initially, one could enter in both,
changed to either the
Regular OR the Amateur
* Changed back to both & a better entry because of that change
* Introduction of the idea of entering two Futurities showing in one.
* Having a club member, Laura Gilbert, take all Futurity nominations.
Previously the
Superintendent received $8.00 of each litter nominated. Now all money
from
litters nominated go to that Region. Thank you Laura Gilbert for your
hard work.
* Now a means to implement two entries and show in one Futurity will be
worked out for
the future .
* Approving a trial for 4 Regions to superintend their own Futurity this
year, saving each of
those clubs a big Superintendent fee. The difficulties in making this
happen
were overcome by the hard dedicated work of these 4 clubs working
TOGETHER
TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.
* The selection of a new printer for the Futurity Catalogue, resulting in
mistake free
better quality ads for our advertisers.
Please forward your positive thoughts and suggestions to Amy she will
appreciate your interest and concerns.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Dual Futurity entries, hmmmm
I talked with a person today , far smarter than I, and the Futurity subject
came up, dual entries etc.
My intelligent friend , while in support of the idea, opined, that HOW would
we keep track of
whom shows and when? Even if we did penalize them for showing and /or
winning with the same dog at two...
.by that time it would be too late for the poor soul who went RBI...or Best
Opposite to....
Would we make our already over burdened regional Chairs, the Futurity
police?
How would we verify that this person did or did not show in two with the
same dog, or that we didn't have the same
co owners ? Would we then upon finding so, also penalize the breeders (who
stand to gain from having pups shown)
I thought it was a very interesting puzzle.....so guys, I know there are so
real smart folks out there....
how would we handle keeping track of who shows where and when?
