While, in theory, this sounds good, in practice I do not think that it would work because you would not get the entries. That is why futurities were designed to be regional shows, so that everyone would get a chance to bring out the litter mates. I can't see a puppy owner on the east coast sending a puppy to OR for a match event.

You might be able to evaluate a litter better if you can see all of them in one place and not one in the SE region and one in the NE region and another in the MW region. If the PC continues to have streaming video, even those that can't attend the National would have an opportunity to see the dogs entered. Diane BISS Ch.
