As most of you know AKC has approved Breed clubs to have two shows on
the same day as long as the entry dose not exceed 50 dogs. Some people
are saying it will be to hard on the dogs and the handler's and will
take all the fun out of dog shows.
Other people are saying it will allow them to get home a day earlier.
Please tell me what you think and if you are for or against.
Or just say for or against
You may send private

PS The entry limit might be 100 per show. Haven't checked yet but it came
from a very good sorce.
I don't know about your source, but it's right on the AKC's website <G>, no
source needed. The entries vary w/ Specialty + Specialty and All Breed +
Specialty (as do the special attractions), so I've clipped from the site:
Same Day Specialty Shows (December 2005 Board meeting)
Effective January 1, 2007, two independent specialty shows of the same breed
of no more than one hundred entries each, inclusive of sweepstakes, special
attractions or matches, may be permitted at the same location on the same
day.
and as far as following an all-breed show:
Evening Specialty Shows (December 2005 Board meeting)
Effective January 1, 2007, evening specialties of no more than fifty entries
will be permitted following all-breed shows. Sweepstakes, special
attractions or matches will not be approved in conjunction with evening
events.

So, the way I read this, same location, 2 Specialties, limit of 100 entries
each....hmmmm....the entry limit is probably too low for the Northeast when
you consider most clubs include OB (per their bylaws)and Juniors, etc. Maybe
in other areas of the county it might work, especially if clubs are having
trouble w/ entries.
As far as following an All Breed show, again, the 50 limit would concern me.
I'm not at all worried about it being hard on the dogs; they should be able
to herd sheepies all day after all. It might be a lot on handlers, depending
on the weather and how much the judges ran them.
