I just got word that a "vote" was put through to disallow the Ont Region RMF placement. Bad enough that we had someone showing under the judge that they co-own dogs with (and placements going to the Nationals) but now this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now abit of what happened with the bitch that went RMF. Handler was getting ready to go into the ring with the bitch - this is a bitch that just won BIM in the States. Beautiful awesome girl! Now we all find out that the bitch isn't listed in the catalog - mistake somewhere? Agreement was made to allow the bitch to show - they would figure things out later but were allowing the bitch to be judged. This bitch goes RMF only for the owner/breeder to get a phone call letting her know that a "vote" was done with "other" people present who had bitches entered in the Maturity and they pulled the Res win and gave it to the 3rd place bitch. Mistake was the bitch was entered in another region by error - a region in which they already had a maturity bitch entered. BUT.......... they had already allowed the bitch to be shown on that day in that region under that judge! This breeder/owner had through out the years always entered many many dogs in the Fut/Mat system and now the club does this. This club has NO rules (or rules made up as they go) - you can enter a dog under a judge that owns the sire or dam or that you even co-own dogs with - they can make rules telling you yes go ahead and show your dog and than pull the win right out from under you. If the club thought they were in trouble before with entries - well they haven't seen nothing yet - BIG changes need to be made and I hope some of you will be at the board meeting in Sept to get this CRAP changed! Daleen - who's bitch will now be listed as 3rd in the Maturity but after all this - ????! ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
