Most have 12-18 in them, people just are not bringing their dogs out. If you have to pay $150. plus and expenses for a name handler, you are not going to take an immature animal out to be pre judged or beaten....like banging ones head against the wall....you gotta stop if you notice it doesn't feel good. If you get less regions, you are going to lose the entries anyway for those that usually stay in their region that do not want a long drive to get there for a match. Then there are the crazies like me (and yes Lew I do include you) that drive all over hells half acre and still get whooped. But we go anyway....
