I agree with keeping 9 regions.? Key players will go far if the judge is good for their dog, but newbies and those who show for fun will not.? There are also people that like to be able to go see a nice Futurity at least once every 2 or 3 years and they look forward to it rotating within their region to a reasonable place to where they live.? I think this is important to keep.

And now the dog food CO. s picking up part of the bill. The regions can even make money. We get to see more dogs [winners & reserve] at the Nat. seems like a win win deal to me. As usual, Fred and I agree. I used to be on the Futurity Committee and argued every year to keep the regions. I havn't seen any reason to change it.
