Yes please share all your thoughts with me and the Board it will all be taken into consideration when planning this. Our original thoughts on this is first and foremost to bring about more participation since in the past a puppy with panno or stagey has missed a futurity and also in recent years we have had many last minute judge changes and this would allow the exhibitors/breeders the opportunity to have a backup plan. Yes this would bring in increased revenue, but I must be honest our thoughts are with what will bring in more participation and allow the decreased numbers to have a little more liberties at actually being able to actually make a futurity without having to be absent completely. It will be a choice though..............if folks don't like the idea they will still have the choice to enter only one. As with any changes I am sure there will be a down side, but hopefully it won't be a signifcant down side. On handlers.............I am not sure they will really want to tie themselves up for many regions on one dog anyways. I am sure that would hurt their income and ability to schedule all their dogs. They will definitely have to work that out. Thank you all for caring and sharing your thoughts.
