I think it would be easier if the clubs held more matches. :0) The Oregon club has held 2 this year. Your club held a match before the show started on Sat. I truly believe that the fun matches will do more to bring new people to the breed than anything else.

Everyone running for an Officer or Board Position is doing so because of their love for the Breed and their willingness to give something back to our club. No need to get nasty since we are all friends and will remain so no matter what the outcome of the election. With that said I will answer the first question asked which was regarding the requirements to judge a Futurity. Personally, I would like to see more people eligible to judge a Futurity because after all it is a BREEDERS' show, not a Judges' show. Yes, procedure and such is very important otherwise we may be at the Futurity for two days. Seriously, I would like to see the requirements reviewed by the Futurity Chair, the Futurity Committee and the Board with the objective to add additional people to the Futurity judging pool.
