Well if you think it is bad now just wait. 50% of the people nominated for the board of directs are not actively showing dogs either. The way it has been set up by the nominating committee big changes will be coming. ----- Original Message ----- From: Carolyn<mailto:marhaven@xxxxxxx> To: ray1jacobs@xxxxxxx<mailto:ray1jacobs@xxxxxxx> ; showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, May 26, 2005 12:08 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Give it up.....A compromise on selects From:"RAYMOND JACOBS"<ray1jacobs@xxxxxxx>Subject<mailto:ray1jacobs@xxxxxxx>Subject>: Re:was...A compromise on selects > Don't give up Paul..I think the fancy needs a good shaking every now and then. Common sense is hard for some folks to swallow.> Ray> ***************************** I would hope that common sense WOULD prevail, and people would realize that just about ALL those making the decision for LIMITING the numbers of Selects are actually those no longer involved in exhibiting at the National. Paul is one of the exceptions.......but then, Paul is exceptional. <G> Hi Paul...<G> What does the main base of ACTUAL EXHIBITORS ACTUALLY WANT!! How many actual exhibitors demanded limits on the number of Selects?? Since the biggest income for our National actually comes from the exhibitors that ACTUALLY ENTER DOGS hoping for a Select..........common sense would tell the Board to pay attention to what exhibitors are saying!! No limits of ten for Select DOGS! Show sites with easy access ......FOR DOGS! Give up the National starting on Tuesday night...... TOO long for the DOGS! Nix the Conditional Class.......a waste of time class for the DOGS! It's a DOG SHOW............ not a ' Politically Correct ' maneuver.....requiring more "compensation" awards!! What earth shattering event within the Breed has caused all this rhetoric after all these years of varying numbers of Selects!? Good Grief.......is this really the biggest problem in the Breed!!!??
