First off, let me say I didn't even know you could show more than one
time.
I see no problem with it.
The purpose of the Futurity was always to show dogs, and display who was
producing. Showing nine times, does not defeat the purpose. Taking more
dogs to the National does not hurt that purpose. It isn't even more dogs
because it is still just the winner and reserve from each region.
I kind of like the idea, and if someone wants to enter nine shows in the
hopes that one of the judges will go with their dog, I say, go for it. The
only cost is to the owner to pay the handler nine times. The show gets
entries, the handler gets more income and we all get to see more dogs.
I don't see a downside.
I remember arguing with John DeHope before he died. (It got a lot harder
after). After we were in a heated discussion, he said to me, "The problem
with you, Evan, is that you just want everyone to have a good time and have
fun at dog shows."
I had no response to that.

Flautt*****************************Hi all...I would like to start a
discussion on the new Futurity rule that allows dogs to be shown in
multiple regions until they win. Before you offer your input however, I
would ask a couple of things.....Please remember that the people on the
Futurity Committee suggested the new rule in an attempt to promote
participation. Regardless of how you feel, it serves no purpose to make
statements like "the rule is outrageous"...or "the Futurity/Maturity wins
are meaningless" etc, etc, etc....Please post your opinion, but keep in
mind that the people on the other side of your computer or phone have
worked countless hours to help keep your Futurity System alive and really
do have its best interest at heart.It is said that perception is
reality....and yes, we have heard the comments that the ability to enter
and show in multiple regions favors the wealthy. So here are some 2017
numbers that are a reality..... For 2017: There were 530 entries of 443
dogs. Of the 443 dogs:-360 were entered once -79 were entered twice-4 were
entered 3 times. Of the 79 dogs entered twice, 33 were shown twice.Of the
4 dogs entered 3 times, 2 were shown twice, and 2 were shown 3
times.........Let me repeat....out of the 443 dogs entered across the
country, only 2 were shown 3 times.......This is basically what the
Futurity Committee thought would happen...people would possibly show twice,
but despite the ability to show in as many regions as desired, very few
would show more than that. OK...a little more data......Of the 37 dogs
that were shown more than once, 8 dogs that were first defeated in a class
or in winners, won a ticket to the National in a subsequent show. So 8 of
the possible 72 dogs (8 dogs per region x 9 regions) that qualify for the
National finals were defeated at a prior Futurity......Does that bother
you? It does some people....A couple of things to consider along that
line....All 36 Reserve Fut/Mat have been defeated.....and if you REALLY
want to be a purist, the 18 Best Opposites were defeated too. Only the
regional Best in Futurity and Maturity have not been defeated (if we are
showing only once)......Something to think about! LOL So..........please
offer your opinons after thinking about the above information. The
Futurity Committee appreciates your feedback!Sent from my
