You know, add about 10 more requirements, along with the dropping entries and you would not need 5 judges. You might not need one - you could leave it all up to the only dog or two who met the qualifications. The owners could fight it out and would not even need handlers. Everyone would save a lot of money as only three people would be there. (I exaggerate!) <G> Reply: The original idea added?NOTHING except that the dog?be a champion. There were no other requirements at all.? It was an idea about using more then one individual?to choose the top dogs.? Idea's and discussing them are good things.? For the record, a lot of people like the idea.? It's not going to happen, we all?know this, at least not in?any time soon.? But as I said to someone on another list, better to sit and ponder then just sit. Helen McCain or Obama?
