This shows have always been majors Sat Jan 28th 4 dogs/ 2 bitches Sun. Jan 29th 4 dogs/ 2 bitches That is heartbreaking. These shows are 1500 Mlles away from me, so difficult for me to support, but what happened to the Florida, Alabama, Georgia people. Ft. Worth finally went in with the Nolan River all breeds and managed to have a 5 point major going in. It is sad when that has to be an answer. Changes are happening. One can try to control them and make them good or ignore them and accept what happens. Trying to control your own destiny make require more effort than many want to put out. But the ones who give up and are adversely effected will the ones that complain the most. For clubs to survive, people must show. That is it. Next the people in adjoining states or clubs will have small or no entires. If exhibitors want this sport to survice-prove it - exhibit - or shut up and let it die.
