I've been saying for years that the Futurities are know longer what Connie 
Beckhardt envisioned  them to be when she started the program.

Every good idea has both pros and cons if implemented.? I know many times a dog
especially a bitch will not be in coat or up to its potential when the futurity
they are entered in rolls around, by being able to enter more then one this
would give that particular dog a chance to be seen?when it is hopefully
in?better condition.? It would also potentially be a money maker for the clubs
which some are in dire need.? Yes there are cons but what better way for a
breeder to be able to show the progeny of?sires and dams in the best condition
they can.? I think it is worth looking into and weigh the pros and cons instead
of just focusing on the cons.

I agree with you. The people that can afford to will book handlers for multiple

futurities, leaving others without a handler or not knowing until the last 
minute. People can come in and if the competition looks tough, pull out and go 
to another futurity with lesser quality. The handlers win, the breeders lose on

this one and I was under the impression that futirities are a breeder shpwcase.

My mistake!

I sent my concerns on to the board.  Please, please, when talking  
about this try to remember what it was like when you first started  
out.  I personally believe very much in the futurity system and I'm  
not even a breeder.  I enjoy showing at them and I get NO personal  
gain.  I do it for the love of the show and watching the young dogs.   
I love watching a class where litter mates are entered.    I love  
being part of it.

My concern is exactly that, what you are suggesting will limit my  
choice of handlers.  I can't even guess how handlers will work this  
out.  What I'd like to avoid is the stress of ringside handler  
shuffling.

Perhaps, the upside is that you will get more participation but the  
downside might be that it will drive out us, the newbies, the little  
guys and I believe you are trying to encourage us.
