Hello All, The idea of entering two futurities but only being able to show in one came up among the Futurity Committee about 2 and 1/2 years ago. If memory serves me correctly (and I'm not sure it does LOL) I believe Carolyn Martello was one of the committee people along with myself that wanted to see if this would work. Other committee members thought it might be a good idea and would be useful for puppies that were limping with pano or bitches that were blowing coat etc. The idea was that when the dog was shown at such and such Futurity that dog/bitch would then be marked absent in the catalogue at whichever other Futurity it had been entered in. The exact details would have to be worked out. At the recent Board Meeting someone commented that in the Weim breed the same dog can be entered in ALL of their Futurities so that's how it all came about. Personally, I am against a single dog being entered in all 9 Regions. For one thing the record keeping would be very difficult and I am not sure how that would be done. Nothing is determined at this point. I am sure Amy will come back to the Board with good suggestions and will gladly accepted input from the members.

They won't have any idea of how many to plan for-how many catalogs to order etc. What about the shows with the futurity. How do they plan -if you skip the futurity will you show up for the specialties What about the specialites in the same area but not in conjunction with the futurity will they get any entry at all.How many shows can a person afford to enter. Specialties in some areas are hurting now what will this do to them Sally www.embroiderybysally.org ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
